It was reported that seven weeks post implant the right atrial (ra) lead and right ventricular (rv) left bundle branch (lbb) lead dislodged.The rv lbb lead exhibited high thresholds and intermittent capture.The ra lead exhibited no capture and no sensing.The physician was suspicious of twiddler's syndrome due to the lack of slack and possible twists in the leads seen on x-ray. upon opening the pocket, knots were seen in the lead coils, indicating the dislodgement was due to twiddlers' syndrome. the rv lbb lead was reprogrammed.The ra lead and rv lbb leads were explanted and replaced.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
