ARROYO ESPLIGUERO, R., et al. Late Displacement of a Ventricular Pacing Lead After Respiratory Therapy. This article presents a case of displacement of the ventricular electrode of a DDD pacemaker occurring 3 years after implantation following a session of respiratory therapy. The incident provoked the loss of the ventricular pacing and left pectoral stimulation. The different techniques for achieving airway patency that can be used in respiratory therapy of patients with permanent pacemakers are discussed.
