Implantable 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 ...
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...
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 کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment and resynchronisation in heart failure.
Correspondence to: Cecilia Linde MD, Department of Cardiology, Karolinska Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] _________________________ P atients with severe heart failure in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III– IV, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and broad QRS have been shown to benefit from biventricular pacing in randomised crossover and p...
متن کاملSensing failure associated with the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillator lead.
INTRODUCTION The diameter of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads has become progressively smaller over time. However, the long-term performance characteristics of these smaller ICD leads are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 357 patients who underwent implantation of a Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillating lead at two separate centers between September 2004 and Oc...
