Event Description
|
It was reported that this left ventricular (lv) lead was explanted due to dislodgment, high capture thresholds, loss of capture, conductor fracture, and dissection.Multiple vectors were tested in attempts to obtain capture, however only one vector detected capture, and had high capture threshold.The lead was attempted to be repositioned, however loss of capture continued.A new lv lead was successfully placed.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, a thorough evaluation of the lead was performed.Testing was completed to assess lead electrical performance and inner/outer insulation integrity.Measurements throughout these tests were within normal limits.Induced electro-cautery damage was noted on the insulation due to the explant procedure.Microscopic inspections of the terminal pin assembly, lead body, and electrode tip found no additional anomalies.Laboratory testing was unable to reproduce the reported clinical observations and detailed analysis did not reveal any abnormalities.Laboratory analysis did not identify any lead characteristics that would have caused or contributed to the reported clinical observations.
