Forces Applied during Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Lead Removal
METHODS 17 physicians, experienced in transvenous lead removal, performed a lead extraction manoeuvre of an ICD lead on a torso phantom. They were advised to stop traction only when further traction would be considered as harmful to the patient or when--based on their experience--a change in the extraction strategy was indicated. Traction forces were recorded with a digital precision gauge. R...
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...
متن کاملImplantable 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 کاملSubcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement in a patient with a preexisting transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Introduction The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is a safe and effective treatment for prevention of sudden cardiac death. It is typically not used in patients who require additional therapies conferred by transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) systems, such as bradycardia pacing or antitachycardia pacing (ATP) for ventricular tachycardia (VT). D...
متن کاملRisk of failure of transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator leads.
BACKGROUND Despite the positive effect on mortality in selected patients, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy is also associated with potential malfunction of the implanted system. The present study provides the long-term lead failure rate in a large single-center cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS Since 1992, a total of 2068 implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients with 2161 defib...
