It was reported that the patient implanted with this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) underwent an unrelated open heart surgery.A lot of ventricular episodes were stored at that time with no therapy delivered due to magnet application.However, there was one episode with a single burst of anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) on the day of the procedure, and it was suspected that the magnet slid off the device during this episode.A second episode was stored a week after the procedure due to suspected atrial fibrillation (af) with rapid ventricular response (rvr), with a single burst of atp and a 41j shock delivered.Technical services (ts) discussed troubleshooting options and programming considerations.This icd remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
