A Case of Very Early Lead Fracture in an Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator: Management and Follow‐Up
Early lead fractures can occur shortly after ICD implantation, leading to inappropriate shocks. Successful management, including extraction and reimplantation, is possible even in these early cases. Clinicians should remain vigilant, and remote monitoring can play a crucial role in the timely detection of such complications.
