Twiddler's syndrome in a patient with CRT-D device - A case report.

Dheeraj D Bhatt1, Ripen K Gupta1, Upendra Kaul2.   

Abstract

Twiddler's syndrome is a rare cause of pacemaker lead dislodgement. A 61-year-old female patient was implanted with a defibrillator capable of cardiac re-synchronization therapy (CRT-D); 10 months later, she presented with uneasiness and vibratory sensations in the chest. Fluoroscopy revealed rotation of the pulse generator along its longitudinal axis and dislodgement of all three leads. Diagnosis of Twiddler's syndrome was made.
