Canadian Registry of Implantable Electronic Device Outcomes: Longer-term follow-up of the Riata lead under advisory
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Riata lead advisory was announced in 2011 and has posed unique management challenges because of cable externalization and insulation abrasion, in some cases leading to sudden loss of defibrillation.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to provide further data on the rate of electrical failure in a population of patients with a Riata lead under advisory.
