Inadequate ICD Discharges Due to Diaphragmatic Electromyopotential Oversensing as the First Sign of Right Ventricular Lead Perforation

Inadequate ICD Discharges Due to Diaphragmatic Electromyopotential Oversensing as the First Sign of Right Ventricular Lead Perforation

Right ventricular lead perforation, when acute, is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. We report about a patient with early lead perforation presenting with repetitive ICD discharges due to oversensing of diaphragmatic electro...

Zusammenfassung:Right ventricular lead perforation, when acute, is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. We report about a patient with early lead perforation presenting with repetitive ICD discharges due to oversensing of diaphragmatic electromyopotentials and describe the management of this complication.
