Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient experienced phrenic nerve stimulation and presented via remote transmission, high capture threshold was noted on the left ventricular lead.The patient presented in clinic later with symptoms of phrenic nerve stimulation.Review of impedance trends noted that there was a drop in pacing impedance measurements on the left ventricular lead about couple weeks prior to clinic visit, and then arose to normal impedance measurements during clinic visit.Programming changes were made to temporarily resolve intermittent phrenic nerve stimulation.A chest x-ray was performed.Lead revision was discussed.The patient was stable post interrogation.

Event Description
|
New information was received noting that the left ventricular lead was dislodged and had migrated to the superior vena cava.The lead was explanted and replaced.The patient was stable before, during, and after surgery.
