Additional information was received from the healthcare professional (hcp).It was reported that the patient presented with a prior history of pancreatic surgery.They had a gastric stimulator which worked well until a little over a year ago when they had recurrent symptoms.The battery was at end of life.They had an upper endoscopy elsewhere which was concerning a possible lead migration and/or entry into the stomach.They also noted a shocking sensation which was felt to be due to a short which could not easily be explained therefore the entire system was removed and replaced.It was observed that the patient had a significant amount of scar tissue and so the new ins had to be placed proximal to the prior lead placement.Impedances were checked and were normal.It was confirmed that the leads were not inside the stomach.The patient¿s weight was provided.No further patient complications were reported as a result of this event.
