Özet
Aim In this report we describe an asymptomatic paced child with outer coil fracture of the bipolar screw-in steroid eluting ventricular lead without insulation defect, loss of ventricular capture and unexpected increase in lead impedance in the bipolar VVIR pace configuration. Method and result A previously unpublished method was performed to retract the helix and the lead. As a result, the fractured lead was successfully retrieved.
