I have a patient that has end of life for a AICD (he has a history of a pacemaker followed by upgrade to resynchronization ICD), he comes in for the generator replacement on the ICD and since he was stable the physician elected to replace the AICD with a pacemaker. He abandoned the left ventricular and right atrial leads. He then says he connected the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator right ventricular sense lead and the previously implanted right ventricular pacemaker lead to a new dual chamber permanent pacemaker. I see every coding scenario but AICD to Pacemaker. Any thoughts? or am I just overthinking it?
