Özet
Pacemaker lead dislodgement is one of the most undesired complications of pacemaker implantation. Repeated procedures are associated with an increased risk of complications, such as pocket infection, pneumothorax, and hematoma. We present a case who experienced dislodgement of the atrial pacemaker lead of a cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator implantation device, which was corrected using a steerable ablation catheter by the transfemoral route.
