Pseudofracture of an ICD Lead

Pseudofracture of an ICD Lead

A proximal pseudofracture of a Medtronic 6936 defibrillating lead adjacent to the ICD pulse generator was found on X ray. At this site, the multifilar metallic connector joins the stimulating lead before coiling around it. Conventional X ray of the abdomen does not visualize this connection. During...

Zusammenfassung:A proximal pseudofracture of a Medtronic 6936 defibrillating lead adjacent to the ICD pulse generator was found on X ray. At this site, the multifilar metallic connector joins the stimulating lead before coiling around it. Conventional X ray of the abdomen does not visualize this connection. During ICD replacement, lead impedance should be routinely measured.
