    MAUDE report 50884205 ↗
  • InjurySep 24, 2026Failure to Advance; Capturing Problem; Device Sensing Problem; Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    During an in-clinic follow-up, a decrease in sensing and increase in capture threshold were observed on the right ventricular (RV) lead. Diagnostic imaging was performed and revealed the RV lead was dislodged. A revision procedure was performed. While attempting to reposition the RV lead, it was not possible to advance a stylet down the lead. The RV lead was explanted and replaced to resolve the event. The patient is stable.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50884079 ↗
  • InjurySep 24, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

    It was reported that the patient was implanted with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) on (b)(6) 2026. Post-operatively, the patient experienced recurrent fever. Subsequent echocardiography and ultrasound revealed vegetation on the atrial lead. A causal relationship between the reported infection and the procedure or the Abbott device could not be determined. Despite prolonged antibiotic therapy, the patient's condition did not improve. As a result, the ICD, atrial lead and right ventricle (RV) lead were explanted on (b)(6) 2026. Blood culture was taken however, the result was not reported. The patient had no consequences throughout the procedure. The cause of infection was related to vegetation on atrial lead.
