Event Description
|
It was reported that during a follow up, increased capture threshold and increased pacing impedance was noted on the right ventricular (rv) lead.Three months prior to the follow up, the patient had received external cardioversion due to atrial fibrillation unrelated to the performance of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) system.It is unknown if the increase in capture threshold and in crease in pacing impedance was connected to the external cardioversion.Abbott technical support was contacted, however, no intervention has been performed at this time.The patient was in stable condition and will continue to be monitored.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Session records were provided for review by technical services.Analysis of the session records indicated that the inadequate capture and high pacing impedance event was sensed by the device.

|
Event Description
|
Additional information was received indicating noise and loss of capture were noted on the right ventricular (rv) lead.The physician suspected rv lead damage, however, it is unknown if diagnostic imaging was performed.A revision procedure was performed and the rv lead was capped and replaced to resolve the event.The patient was in stable condition.
