Abstract

The Riata family of defibrillator leads (St. Jude Medical, Sylmar, CA) has been recalled because of externalisation of conductor cables and increased electrical failure. We describe the case of a man with an incidental finding of extreme externalisation of a conductor from the right ventricular defibrillator lead (Riata family) with prolapse into the left pulmonary artery.
