چکیده
We report the case of a 54-year-old patient with repetitive inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks due to externalized pace-sense conductor cables of a Biotronik Linox SD 65/16 ICD lead. This case report is one of few in the literature describing inappropriate shocks due to insulation failure with externalization of conductor cables of an ICD lead from the Biotronik Linox family.

Externalized conductors and insulation failure in Biotronik defibrillator leads: History repeating or a false alarm?
Conductor externalization and insulation failure are frequent complications with the recalled St. Jude Medical Riata implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads. Conductor externalization is a "unique" failure mechanism: Cables externalize through the insulation ("inside-out" abrasion) and appear outside the lead body. Recently, single reports described a similar failure also for Biotron...
متن کاملPrevalence and presentation of externalized conductors and electrical abnormalities in Riata defibrillator leads after fluoroscopic screening: report from the Netherlands Heart Rhythm Association Device Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND The Riata family of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads is prone to a specific insulation abrasion characterized by externalization of conductor cables. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of externalized conductors and electrical abnormalities in Riata ICD leads by fluoroscopic screening and standard ICD interrogation. METHODS AND RESULTS All...
متن کاملImplantable cardiac defibrillator lead failure or myopotential oversensing? An approach to the diagnosis of noise on lead electrograms.
The appearance of noise on electrograms (EGMs) recorded from the lead of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) may be owing to oversensing of myopotentials, insulation breach, conductor coil fracture, loose set screw, or electromagnetic interference from an external source. The extraneous noise may lead to inappropriate shocks or inhibition of pacing. We describe two cases of pectoral...

A 57-year-old man with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, New York Heart Association class III heart failure, and a narrow QRS complex was enrolled in an ongoing research study to assess the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with echocardiographically detected dyssynchrony and a narrow QRS complex (the EchoCRT study; http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00683696.). A B...
متن کاملA Case of Riata® Dual Coil Defibrillator Lead Failure in a Patient with Ventricular Fibrillation
A 50-year-old man, who underwent a procedure for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), visited the outpatient department of our clinic after suffering multiple ICD shocks. The ICD interrogation revealed recurrent shock due to a high frequency of noise that is sensed by the device as ventricular fibrillation. Chest radiography revealed a significant split in the insulation of the lead...
