Management of lead malposition is crucial to avoid complications and is carried out on case-by-case bases. The 12-lead ECG during pacing and chest X-ray are essential during initial workup and recommended for new patients to the device clinic. Echocardiography and CT scan are important to confirm the location and plan appropriate therapy.

Purpose: Trabecular micro-bypass devices (TBDs) such as the iStent series (Glaukos Corporation, Laguna Hills, CA), are effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). However, precise placement of TBDs is crucial in achieving surgical efficacy, as device malpositioning may lead to suboptimal IOP reduction. We demonstrate two novel intra-operative signs to aid confirmation of accurate iStent placement, without reliance on imaging technologies.

Introduction: medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) is a common surgical procedure for treating patellar instability. Grafts can be fixed to the femur using a bone-tunnel technique with an interference screw. However, this may lead to femoral tunnel enlargement (FTE) post-operatively.

A central venous catheter (CVC) was placed in the left internal jugular vein of a woman in her late 20s, who was admitted to our intensive care unit during the management of her abdominal wall sepsis. Two days later, the patient had pain at the insertion site. Check aspiration revealed the presence of aspirate from all the lumens except the distal lumen.

Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy experienced jaundice, eight years after having a dual-chamber ICD implanted, but showed no signs of heart failure.
- The diagnosis revealed congestive hepatopathy due to severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by the improperly positioned right ventricular lead from the ICD.
- Treatment involved replacing the tricuspid valve and removing the ICD, leading to a successful recovery, highlighting the need to consider heart issues as a cause of liver dysfunction in similar patients.

Inadvertent lead malposition (ILM) of a temporary pacing wire is a rare complication that can occur during pacemaker insertion. We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented late following an inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Temporary cardiac pacing was performed for symptomatic complete heart block.
