It was reported on that the patient has high lead impedance was observed.The device was programmed off.Two anterior/posterior chest and neck x-rays and two lateral chest images were provided for review.Based on the quality and angle of the images, the lead pin could not be assessed for complete insertion past the connector block.The generator appeared placed normally per labeling in the left chest, and the feedthru wires were intact.The electrode placement was done as per labeling.Strain relief bend appears to be present per labeling and a strain relief loop is present.Based on the images received, tie-downs securing the strain relief appear to be missing.A small portion of the lead was behind the generator, and the lead was intact at the connector pin.There did not appear to be any sharp angles or gross fractures in the available images.The cause of the high impedance could not be determined based on the images provided.Surgical intervention has not occurred to date.No additional relevant information has been received to date.
