Right Bundle Branch Block After Transvenous Lead Extraction: An Unreported Complication With Potentially Severe Outcomes
The development of RBBB following the extraction of a TV ICD is a previously unreported complication and may cause significant sensing problems if an SICD is implanted subsequently. Placement of the ICD lead tip in the right ventricular outflow tract or high on the intraventricular septum may predispose to this complication.
