Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The patient is reported to have normal tissue quality and be relatively sedentary, with no reports of any specific events that took place after the implant which may have contributed to lead migration.There was notable bruising present after the implant, causing the physician to delay any surgical intervention to see if allowing additional healing time would resolve the complaint symptoms.No conclusive determinations are able to be drawn as to the cause of the lead movement, however migration is a known inherent risk of implantable neuromodulation devices.
