N Sulke1, J Chambers, C Blauth.   

Abstract

More than 47,000 patients world wide have had the Accufix atrial-pacemaker lead implanted. The company has issued warnings because degeneration of the electrode has occurred, with two deaths. We detected a fractured electrode that was successfully removed with insertion of a new type of electrode. Action is required to prevent further possibly fatal complications occurring.
