In spite of the advances made in the technology of pacemakers which resulted in a decrease in the incidence of pacemaker lead fracture, the latter remains a potential complication of implanted pacemakers manufactured in the early days. In this report, we present a case of fracture of the unipolar electrode diagnosed by an emergency physician in a patient on a pacemaker for 10 years who presented to the emergency department with positional convulsant syncopes.
尽管起搏器技术取得了进步，这使得起搏器导线断裂的发生率有所降低，但导线断裂仍是早期生产的植入式起搏器的一个潜在并发症。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例由急诊医生诊断出的单极电极断裂病例，该患者植入起搏器已10年，因体位性惊厥性晕厥就诊于急诊科。
