Figure 1. Fluoroscopic anteroposterior image taken during
implantation of transvenous left ventricular lead. (a ) Coronary
venography during the first implantation of a left ventricular lead of
the cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillator. (b )
Fluoroscopic anteroposterior image demonstrating position of the
transvenous left ventricular lead of the cardiac resynchronisation
therapy defibrillator during the first procedure. (c )
Fluoroscopic anteroposterior image demonstrating the position of the
transvenous left ventricular lead of the cardiac resynchronisation
therapy defibrillator during the reimplantation procedure due to
worsening pacing threshold
Figure 2. Findings on admission. (a ) Chest X-ray image
on admission. Solid arrow indicates completely fractured left
ventricular lead. Dotted arrow indicates a completely fractured atrial
lead. (b ) Twelve-lead electrocardiogram on admission

implantation for cardiac resynchronisation therapy. (a )
Photograph demonstrating the position of the bipolar epicardial left
ventricular lead of the cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillator.
