Implication

Heavy generators may cause late lead retraction; this case leaves open optimal anchoring or pocket techniques.

Structured PICO

Population

1 78-year-old man with intermittent heart block

Intervention

Insertion of a 200 gm Medtronic pacemaker in a subcutaneous infrapectoral pocket with a bipolar electrode via the cephalic vein into the apex of the right ventricle

Outcome

Failure of capture due to electrode retractionsafety

Heavyweight pacemaker pulse generators can cause late displacement of endocardial electrodes due to downward migration, highlighting the need for proper anchoring or subpectoral pocket creation.
