lead was deactivated Explanation: This seems to be technically possible Boston scientific received information that during a follow up visit, this left ventricular lead exhibited high impedances of 2,000 ohms over the past few months. In addition, there was no left ventricular stimulation or capture and no left ventricular sensing. An electrocardiogram revealed right stimulation only. All other parameters were within normal limits. The decision was made to deactivate the left ventricular lead. Fluoroscopy was performed and revealed that the lead was bent and possibly fractured at the sublavian area. An attempt to repair the lead will be made at the time of the device replacement in the future. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/SCRIPTS/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/de... |
