Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports

An 80-year-old patient having a dual chamber DR pacer connected to a VDD lead presented with chronic lead dislodgment with the atrial ring displaced into the right ventricle. There was no ventricular capture at maximal ventricular output, and given the clinical settings, the condition was managed with a conservative approach, the mode was switched to AAI ensuring a minimal adequate ventricular pacing backup in a non dependent patient.
