title: Dislodgment of an atrial screw-in pacing lead 10 years after implantation.
abstract: Dislodgment of an atrial screw-in pacing lead is quite rare. This report describes a rare case of an atrial screw-in lead dislodgment 10 years after implantation. Although it is an uncommon complication, very late dislodgment can occur postoperatively, and careful follow-up is necessary.
