Reel syndrome is a pacemaker lead early dislodgment, characterized by reeling-in of the lead(s) without being damaged. We herein present a case of an 86-year-old woman, with medical history of single chamber pacemaker implantation two years ago, admitted in cardiology department with complete AV block. Chest-Xray revealed ventricular lead coiling around and behind the pacemaker device. Urgent extraction of the previous pacemaker was performed; however, the lead damage made its repositioning unfeasible. Successful implantation of single-chamber pacemaker has been made. This clinical case highlights the importance of adequate follow-up to timely identify lead dislodgement, avoid lethal complications and lead fracture.

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.

Twiddler syndrome is a rare entity in which patient manipulation causes lead dislocation with lead retraction. Reel syndrome, on the other hand, is observed after external manipulation, intentional or unintentional, in which the leads move along their transverse axis and is considered a variant of Twiddler syndrome. 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.
