| Popis: | Two patients with the same model of single-coil active fix implantable defibrillator lead presented with evidence of lead malfunction, in one case with an abrupt rise in pacing impedance and threshold and in the other with evidence of over-sensing. In both cases, the chest radiograph showed separation of conductors in the defibrillation lead from the main body of the lead. |
