A Case of ILM-t With Intravascular and Extravascular Coiling A 44-year-old woman with idiopathic cardiomyopathy and sustained ventricular tachycardia underwent single-chamber implantable cardiac defibrillator system implantation (Epic VR-196; ventricular lead Riata cm; St. Jude Medical, Saint Paul, Minnesota) on September 27, Thereafter, the patient was asymptomatic. However, on November 14, 2008, a routine device check-up showed failure to pace and sense, while multiple nonsustained ventricular fibrillation events were registered. A chest x-ray revealed retraction of the lead between both coils knotted like a treble clef at the junction of the right atrium and superior vena cava. A second coiling of the lead was seen at the level of the yoke. ILM-t = idiopathic lead migration (twiddler).
