By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Medical Device Law Weekly -- A new study on Medical Devices - Pacemakers is now available. According to news reporting originating from Mie, Japan, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “An 82-year-old man with a permanent pacemaker (PM) implanted for sick sinus syndrome complained of palpitation due to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and flutter. During extensive pulmonary vein isolation, the atrial lead was dislodged to the level of the tricuspid annulus.”
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Mie University, “Radiofrequency energy delivery to the cavotri-cuspid isthmus reproducibly caused twitching of the PM pocket. The atrial lead was repositioned to the right atrial appendage, PM check revealed no functional change in the PM or lead performance.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “This is the first reported case of twitching of the PM pocket due to electromagnetic interference.”
