Introduction Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are routinely used for primary and secondary prevention of arrhythmiarelated deaths in patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Complications that occur during transvenous ICD implantation have been well described in the literature and include early complications such as pocket hematoma, pocket or lead infection, lead dislodgment, myocardial perforation, postoperative arrhythmia, and pericardial effusion with or without tamponade. Late complications include lead fracture and pocket or lead infection, but rarely lead dislodgment. This case report describes an unusual case of late superior vena cava (SVC) coil dislodgment.
