متن کاملTwiddler's syndrome complicating a transvenous defibrillator lead system.
Twiddler's syndrome is a rare complication seen in patients with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators. The condition typically presents with device malfunction and occurs when the patient either consciously or unconsciously twists and rotates the implanted device in its pocket, resulting in torsion and dislodgement of the implanted lead. A case of twiddler's syndrome involving a transvenous d...
متن کاملLife-Threatening Effect of Twiddler's Syndrome with a Subpectorally Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator
Twiddler's syndrome has been known for over 30 years as a rare complication after pacemaker implantation [1]. The often unintended manipulation of the pacemaker by patients causes the device to rotate in the pacemaker pocket, which may result in lead defects or dislocations. The same mechanism exists for transvenously implanted defibrillators and has been described as a rare complication for ab...
متن کاملTwisting until it breaks: a rare cause of ICD lead failure.
We describe a rare case of Twiddler's syndrome that resulted in a complex ICD lead fracture involving both the insulation and the conductor. The conductor fracture resulted in noise artefact that was interpreted by the device as ventricular fibrillation, but the patient had not received any shocks because the "episodes" were non-sustained. The patient did not have traditional risk factors for T...
