Event Description

It was reported that the device was attempted to be removed, but the procedure resulted in bleeding and excessive scarring so the surgery was aborted.The surgeon identified the vagus higher up in the incision, and attempted to remove the lead from there, but as it was stuck and fibrosed there was a brisk hemorrhage.Per the physician, the fibrosis was believed to be caused by patient physiology as the lead had been placed for 12 years during which, the patient grew.The physician also indicated that the hemorrhage was due to the disturbance of the fibrosis.A suture was placed on the area to control the bleeding.No other relevant information has been received to date.
