Abstract:
Lead fracture is one of the mechanical complications of implanted cardiac devices. We present a case of mechanical stress-induced left ventricular lead fracture attributed to the hypermobility of the device secondary to sub-muscular implantation of the device without anchoring it. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
