Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during the implant procedure, the competitor guidewire was being removed from the left ventricular (lv) lead and became stuck.The wire was pulled and broke within the lead.The lead was tested and the pacing threshold was observed to be the same and the impedance had increased.It was decided to utilize the lead and once the lead was connected to the cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d), the only pacing configuration that was available was lv1 to can and the bipolar impedance measurements were high.It was noted following the procedure, there was no capture observed.The pocket was re-opened and it was noted the lv pin was not fully inserted in the header of the crt-d.The lead was tested and found to be within limits.The lead was reconnected; the device and lv lead remain in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
