Event Description
|
It was reported that the right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited a gradual increase in impedance, decreased r waves, and a small increase in thresholds.It was suspected that these changes were most likely related to a physiological change at the tip tissue surface of the rv lead, such as calcification or mineralization.The rv lead remains in use. no patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
