Misplaced left ventricular pacemaker leads were associated with recurrent strokes; this case report leaves open whether routine post-insertion ECG and radiograph review prevents morbidity.
Case Report (n=1)
Late diagnosis of a malpositioned pacemaker lead in the left ventricle can lead to recurrent strokes and significant morbidity, emphasizing the need for routine post-insertion ECG and chest radiograph review.
Sivapathasuntharam et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Recurrent strokes due to malpositioned pacemaker lead (n=1). Malpositioned pacemaker lead in the left ventricle was evaluated on Recurrent strokes. A malpositioned pacemaker lead in the left ventricle caused recurrent strokes, highlighting the importance of reviewing the electrocardiogram and chest radiograph after pacemaker insertion.
