May prompt consideration of surgical extraction for misplaced LV leads causing recurrent TIAs; leaves open optimal management strategies pending larger studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Inadvertent left ventricular pacemaker lead placement is a rare complication that can cause recurrent transient ischemic attacks and may require surgical extraction.
Hinojos et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Misplaced left ventricular pacemaker lead with recurrent transient ischemic attacks (n=1). Surgical extraction via aortotomy and epicardial pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Clinical recovery and resolution of recurrent TIAs. Surgical extraction via aortotomy and implantation of an epicardial pacemaker successfully treated a patient experiencing recurrent transient ischemic attacks due to a misplaced left ventricular lead.
