Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead performance.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have revolutionized the treatment of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. In the nearly 3 decades since the first human ICD implant,1 millions of devices have been implanted worldwide and innumerable lives have been saved. Successful resuscitation of a potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmia by an ICD system depends on successful arrhythmia...
متن کاملHigh failure rate for an epicardial implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead: implications for long-term follow-up of patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of epicardial lead failure during long-term follow-up and its mode of presentation. BACKGROUND Despite the high prevalence of epicardial lead-based implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, their long-term performance is unknown, and appropriate follow-up has not been established. METHODS The study group comprised all patients in...
متن کاملAn algorithm to predict implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead failure.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this analysis was to test an algorithm that identifies implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead problems before clinical failure and/or inappropriate therapy. BACKGROUND The ICD lead failures typically present as inappropriate shock therapy. Identifying lead failures before their clinical presentation may prevent patient discomfort, improve device longevity, an...
متن کاملlate development of a bronchocutaneous fistula due to an epicardial cardioverter-defibrillator lead
cutaneous complications caused by a pacemaker or defibrillator are widely documented, but the development of a bronchocutaneous fistula has never been described before. we report the case of a 79-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital because of a seemingly superficial cutaneous infection, externalized defibrillator leads, and hemoptysis. bronchoscopical investigation proved the existenc...
متن کاملTransvenous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Lead Reliability: Implications for Postmarket Surveillance
BACKGROUND As implantable cardioverter-defibrillator technology evolves, clinicians and patients need reliable performance data on current transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator systems. In addition, real-world reliability data could inform postmarket surveillance strategies directed by regulators and manufacturers. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated Medtronic Sprint Quattro, Boston...
