Abstract

Abstract : N/A: Twiddler's syndrome is an uncommon cause of cardiac implantable electronic device malfunction, usually due to manipulation of the pulse generator. A few spontaneous cases have already been described. We present the unique case of a 77-year-old woman who experienced iatrogenic Twiddler's syndrome.
