InjuryAug 28, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem
It was reported that patient developed a pocket infection with symptoms of discomfort, purulent discharge/pus, redness, and wound dehiscence. The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemaker (CRT-P) system was explanted and later replaced with a leadless Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG). No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
