Incidence of lead system malfunction detected during implantable defibrillator generator replacement.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generator replacement due to a depleted battery is a frequently performed procedure. The frequency with which sensing and defibrillation system failures are identified during device replacement procedures has not been previously described. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to prospectively determine the frequency of lead system malfunction det...
متن کاملProphylactic lead extraction at implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator change.
BACKGROUND Current implantable cardiac devices have a finite battery life of ≈3 to 7 years for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. It is current practice to reuse all properly functioning intravascular leads. We tested the hypothesis that a strategy of prophylactic lead removal at the time of device change would be superior under some conditions to the current practice of lead reuse. MET...
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 کاملForces 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 کاملImplantable Cardiac Defibrillator Lead Failure and Management.
The implantable-cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead is the most vulnerable component of the ICD system. Despite advanced engineering design, sophisticated manufacturing techniques, and extensive bench, pre-clinical, and clinical testing, lead failure (LF) remains the Achilles' heel of the ICD system. ICD LF has a broad range of adverse outcomes, ranging from intermittent inappropriate pacing ...
