During a normal follow-up appointment, the lead impedance on a patient's implanted os ipg was found to be >2000 on both leads.X-rays were taken and it was confirmed the patient twiddled the device, the second time this had reportedly occurred according to the physician.The physician opted to have the patient's ipg removed.The explanted ipg was scrapped by the hospital and was therefore unavailable for evaluation.However, a dhr review was conducted and no anomalies were found.It is known that twiddling may cause attached ipg leads to become damaged or dislodged.
