Resumen
REMOLINA, Yuly A; RODRIGUEZ, Luis A y MORA, Guillermo. Inappropriate shocks due to electrical noise as a manifestation of loss of the internal insulation in a patient with RIATA electrode. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.110-114. ISSN 0120-5633.
Inappropriate electrical shocks represent 12% of the complications associated with the implanted defibrillator. These are not innocuous and are related to increased mortality. This complication is most often attributed to RIATA electrode, manufactured by St. Jude Medical. The case of a 64 years old male patient who four years after a defibrillator implant (St. Jude Medical electrode RIATA) presented eight inappropriate shocks secondary to extrusion of the electrode wires due to loss of internal insulation, is presented.
