At the time of the revision surgery, the lead was replaced to restore therapy, not to address or prevent suspected patient injury.However, upon entering the space, the surgeon found that the distal sensor tip was severed and had migrated to the pleura.Surgeon was able to retrieve the sensor tip.Upon conclusion of root cause analysis on
