It was reported that this right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited possible loss of capture (loc).Technical services (ts) was consulted and confirmed evidence of loc, as well as pacing inhibition greater than two seconds, which was associated with a syncopal episode experienced by the patient.The rv lead was suspected to be fractured.Subsequently, the patient underwent a replacement procedure; however, due to venous occlusion, the physician elected to cap both the rv and right atrial (ra) leads and explant the existing device.A new system was then implanted on the left side.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
