March 1990

Clockwise exit of pacing leads from transvenous cardiac pacemakers is generally essential for proper function. The authors report a case in which counterclockwise exit of the pacing leads signified a 180 degree flip of the pulse generator. Three types of pacing system malfunction can result from pacemaker flip.
