An implant card was received which noted that high/low lead impedance was observed during the patient's vns generator replacement due to battery depletion.Lead impedance was also marked to be normal on the implant card.Ap neck x-rays of the patient were previously reviewed.The connector pin appeared to be fully inserted inside the connector block, and feedthru wires appeared intact.There appeared to be a portion of the lead wire located behind the generator which was unable to be assessed.No obvious gross lead discontinuities or sharp angles were observed in the visible portion of the lead.Due to the image quality and angles, the lead and generator could not be completely assessed.Note that the presence of a micro-fracture and/or a lead discontinuity could not be ruled out in the portion of the lead that is not visible in the provided images.No additional or relevant information has been received to date.
