Abstract
We report a method for deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead fixation in the event that the primary anchoring device fails to function effectively. The method involves the application of a titanium microplate to secure the lead to the skull, thereby providing a fast and reliable “rescue” mechanism for lead fixation. This method can supplement any burr hole cap and fixation method. Furthermore, this method has several advantages over removal and replacement of the primary anchor, such as a lower possibility of lead migration, faster procedural time, and cost-effectiveness.
