Özet
A 48-year-old man who was implanted with a DDD-R pacemaker because of sick sinus syndrome eight days ago presented to our institute with a syncopal attack. Fluoroscopy showed a dislodged active fixation atrial pacemaker lead. With a snare system simply improvised from a 0.014 inch guidewire and a NIH catheter, the lead was repositioned via percutaneous transfemoral approach. The procedure was easy and completed without any complication. Follow-up controls after two weeks and three months showed stability of the lead position with normal pacing and sensing functions.
