Key result
A 63-year-old woman with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator developed reel syndrome 3 months post-implantation, which was successfully managed with device extraction and reimplantation.
Why the study?
Lead macrodislodgement is a rare complication of cardiac implantable electronic devices associated with patient-related risk factors, presenting diagnostic and management challenges.

Reel syndrome is a rare complication of S-ICD implantation that can be detected early through remote monitoring of device parameters such as sensing and impedance.
Lead macrodislodgement is a rare complication of cardiac implantable electronic devices associated with patient-related risk factors. This paper outlines a case of reel syndrome secondary to device manipulation 3 months after subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation and describes the challenges with lead macrodislodgement diagnosis, mechanisms, and management.

El‐Zein et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Lead macrodislodgement (reel syndrome) in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (n=1). Device extraction and reimplantation was evaluated on Resolution of lead macrodislodgement. A 63-year-old woman with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator developed reel syndrome 3 months post-implantation, which was successfully managed with device extraction and reimplantation.
