Prospective Assessment of Linox Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Leads for Structural or Electrical Abnormalities
Tóm tắt
Insulation failure leading to conductor externalization (CE) of a Linox (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead has recently been reported. The aim of this study was to assess prospectively all Linox family ICD leads implanted at our center for evidence of CE or an electrical abnormality. All patients with a Linox family ICD lead implanted at our center, between November 2007 and March 2015, were identified and all living patients were invited to attend for fluoroscopic screening and electrical assessment of the lead. A total of 183 patients had a Linox family ICD lead implanted at our center. Of these, 5 patients (2.7%) had the lead extracted because of electrical failure and 2 of these leads had evidence of CE. Out of 158 living patients with a Linox family ICD lead, 111 patients attended for screening (mean age 63.1 years, 22.5% female). In this group of patients, no cases of CE or electrical abnormalities of the lead were identified. In this study evaluating 183 patients with a Linox family ICD lead implanted at a single center, 5 leads (2.7%) were explanted because of electrical failure and 2 of these leads had evidence of CE. Prospective fluoroscopic assessment of 111 Linox family ICD leads, with a mean dwell time of 31.5 months, revealed no further cases of CE.
