Abstract
AbstractDeep septal ventricular pacing is a recently developed physiological pacing modality with good efficacy; however, it has a potential risk of unusual complications. Here, we report a patient with pacing failure and spontaneous, complete lead dislodgement after >2 years of deep septal pacing, possibly caused by systemic bacterial infection and specific lead behavior in the septal myocardium. This case report may implicate a hidden risk of unusual complications in deep septal pacing.
