Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator electrode fracture: Follow‐up, troubleshooting, and evaluation

Abstract: The subcutaneous-implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) and its electrode were developed to avoid long-term complications of transvenous leads in the vasculature. We report a case of unexpected, inappropriate S-ICD shocks due to oversensing of high-amplitude, nonphysiologic, electrical noise artifacts that were not preceded by high-impedance alerts or sensing electrogram noise detections.Following explant, high-magnification X-ray imaging of the S-ICD electrode demonstrated partial fracture of the dist… Show more

“…A challenging differential diagnosis is (partial) lead fracture, which may exhibit similar findings as described above. 10 Lead fractures early after implantation are unlikely, but the manufacturer has released an advisory 11 due to lead body fractures distal to the proximal sensing ring of the model 3501, which has recently been replaced by a reinforced model. 12 When programmed in primary vector, this failure mode will not cause non-physiologic artefacts but if the device is programmed in alternate vector and only the distal sense conductor is fractured, similar artefacts with normal impedances may be seen.…”
