Abstract
A case of a runaway pacemaker with intermittent nonoutput failure of a VVI Intermedics pacemaker is presented. This is the first report of such a phen omenon in that type of pacemaker with no apparent reason other than approac hing battery end-of-life. The reported case warrants a close follow-up of p atients with the same type of device.
