Reel's syndrome (RS) is an unusual cause of pacemaker lead dislodgement. We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient with Down syndrome (DS) implanted with a dual-chamber endovascular pacemaker due to symptomatic sinus node disfunction, reporting several syncopal episodes in last days and showing abnormal electrical parameters at the 2-months follow-up due to RS. The malfunctioning device was removed and an endocardial leadless pacing system was implanted.

We present the clinical case of a 91-year-old female who, after pacemaker implantation, presented with dizziness and chest discomfort following constant manipulation of the pacemaker, resulting in complete retraction of the lead tip into the pouch, which is unusual in the literature to date.
