It was reported that intra operatively during the placement of the left bundle branch lead, the physician failed to rotate it into the proper position when operating the 3830 lead despite multiple attempts.Upon removing the lead, excessive connective tissue was observed at its tip, therefore the tissue was cleared, and the lead was re-secured.The testing parameters were normal but after the sheath was cut, subsequent testing revealed changes in the multi-lead electrocardiographic waveforms.A new catheter was used for implant of the lead.Shortly, it was discovered that the helical screw at the lead tip had become deformed.Therefore, the lead was attempted not used.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
