Event Description
|
It was reported that during the implant procedure the lead displayed high impedance when tested through the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd).The lead was reconnected into the device and the results were the same.It was decided to remove the lead and replace it.When the surgeon was removing the stitches, the outer insulation of the lead was inadvertently cut.The lead was removed and replaced without difficulty and the impedance of the replaced lead was found to be high.It was then decided to replace the icd.The impedance was tested and found to be in an acceptable range.Of note, the surgeon felt there was a device measurement issue.The procedure was completed and no patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
