Twiddler's syndrome can occur from pacemaker manipulation or electrode movement. This case highlights electrode coiling in the right ventricular outflow tract due to inadequate securing.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Twiddler's syndrome is a known complication associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
  • It can arise from external manipulation of the pulse generator or spontaneous lead rotation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with complications potentially related to Twiddler's syndrome.
  • The cardiac pacing electrode was found to be inadequately secured.

Findings:

  • The unsecured electrode underwent spontaneous rotation.
  • The electrode became coiled within the right ventricular outflow tract, a critical cardiac region.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of secure electrode placement to prevent device-related complications.
