Event Description
|
Additional information was reported that a lead revision took place.The physician attempted to pull the lead down.X-ray imaging indicated that the top contact of the lead had broken off, and did not move down, with the lead body.Due to a breathing complication shortly after this movement of the lead, the physician had to close and leave the whole system in situ.The physician does not believe the breathing complication was device related.The patient had other medical issues which contributed to this breathing complication.The physician plans to remove the lead body in the future.The patient was doing well and wishes for a new lead to be placed in the future.The device will remain turned off in the meantime.
