Salvage of a failing bifurcated bipolar epicardial lead with conductor fracture.

Alexander Rusanov1, Henry M Spotnitz.   

Abstract

Cardiac rhythm abnormalities in children are often managed by using epicardial pacing systems. Lead failure poses a serious problem in pacemaker-dependent patients. We describe a lead repair that was not intuitive and avoided repeat thoracotomy in a pacemaker-dependent patient with lead fracture. Copyright 2010 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
