Abstract:
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.

Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
