Combined LASER and femoral approach to remove a previous failure of Riata lead extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transvenous extraction of Riata lead could be a challenging procedure due to insulation failure and conductor cables' externalization through the eroded outer insulation. In this case, a complete lead extraction was achieved through a combined LASER and femoral approach because of the massive conductors' externalization.

A case of Durata ICD lead coil externalization: Inside-out lead abrasion?
The St Jude Medical Durata lead was produced in response to the recalled Riata and Riata ST leads in November 2011 after concerns of lead durability and inside-out abrasion. In order to protect against this susceptibility, the Riata ST Optim and Durata leads were coated with an abrasionresistant layer of silicone–polyurethane copolymer (Optim) tubing. We report a case of Durata lead extraction ...

An advisory related to the Riata and Riata ST leads was announced on November 28, 2011 by St. Jude Medical after these leads had been removed from the market the year before. This advisory described the possibility of conductors within the implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) lead becoming externalized because of an inside-out abrasion mechanism. This is a novel failure mechanism, not r...
متن کاملFailure-free survival of the Durata defibrillator lead.
AIMS Given design similarities and a common manufacturer, there have been suspicions regarding the Durata™ defibrillator (ICD) lead, in the aftermath of the Riata™ class I recall. We therefore examined the failure-free survival rates of the Durata™ compared with the Riata™ and Sprint Quattro™ ICD leads. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients (n = 2475) implanted with a Durata (n = 828), Riata [n = ...

AIMS The aim of the study was to present a single-centre experience of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead extraction using different methods, mainly laser-assisted extraction. METHODS AND RESULTS Data from 1032 leads and 647 procedures were gathered. A step-by-step approach using different techniques while performing an ongoing risk-benefit analysis was used. The ...
متن کاملShock-induced right ventricular pacing failure caused by a short circuit: Uncommon but life-threatening complication of the Riata lead
Introduction The Riata and Riata ST implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads, a narrow caliber silicone lead without an outer jacket, have been shown to be prone to structural and electrical failure. While much interest has been shown in potentially lethal high-voltage (HV) failures caused by electrical short circuits due to a breach in the ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) insulati...
