AI Article Synopsis
- The authors explain that during percutaneous coronary intervention, manipulating devices can create "noise" that might mimic an arrhythmia.
- This false signal could lead to unnecessary shocks from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
- While such occurrences are rare, it's important for operators to be aware of this risk when faced with challenging lesions in patients with an ICD.
Article Abstract
The authors demonstrate that device manipulation during percutaneous coronary intervention can result in "noise," which can be perceived as an arrhythmia resulting in an inappropriate shock. Although rare, this possibility should be considered when an operator encounters a difficult to traverse lesion in a patient with an ICD.
