Event Description

It was reported that the epicardial right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited high/undefined rv coil impedance.A laser was used to remove the lead, however when tension was put on the lead with a locking stylet in the lumen, the proximal part of the lead was only removed.The laser could only go a few centimeters into the subclavian vein with a noticeable occlusion near the superior vena cava (svc) junction.A venogram was performed and there was no access from the left side due to the occlusion.The rv and svc ports were plugged and the icd is being used as a pacemaker only. no further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
