Boston scientific received information that this cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) and a non-boston scientific right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited impedance measurements of greater than 2000 ohms, noise, oversensing, and loss of capture.A revision was performed, and when the device was removed from the pocket, intermittent left ventricular (lv) pacing was noted with a non-boston scientific lv lead.A new rv lead was implanted and the patient¿s lv lead was connected to the device, and then there was no rv or lv capture.Then the device was programmed to electrocautery mode and this resolved the issues.A plasma blade was being used at that time.The device remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
