Management of the patient with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead failure.
A 52-year-old man was brought to the emergency department because of multiple implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD) shocks. His existing dual-chamber pacemaker was upgraded from a biventricular ICD 4 years ago. The ECG in the emergency department showed sinus tachycardia with left bundle-branch block at a rate of 135 bpm. In the emergency department, the patient received 5 additional shoc...
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 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 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 کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead failure in children and young adults: a matter of lead diameter or lead design?
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the impact of lead diameter and design on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead survival in children and young adults. BACKGROUND Recent reports have called attention to high rates of lead failure in adults with small-diameter ICD leads, but data in the pediatric population is limited. METHODS We reviewed lead performance in consecutive...
