Following implant of the left ventricular (lv) lead, the physician attempted to remove the stylet and felt resistance.The physician then removed the stylet with force resulting in detachment of the lv lead's pin and lv lead damage.Following this event, the physician recannulated the coronary sinus and this led to a ventricular arrhythmia.Atp was delivered but was not successful.The arrhythmia was terminated with successful delivery of a shock.The physician reported this additional intervention was suspected to be the cause of this arrhythmia and the patient was previously shocked three times during the procedure due to an unrelated arrhythmia.The event was resolved by explanting and replacing the lv lead.The patient was in stable condition following the procedure.
