Canadian Registry of Implantable Electronic Device Outcomes: Surveillance of High-Voltage Leads

BACKGROUND: Cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs) are subject to advisories and complications that can result in morbidity and mortality for patients; there is currently no system in Canada to track these. METHODS: This was a multicenter, prospective cohort study conducted at 5 centers to determine feasibility. Patients with a de novo high-voltage (HV) lead implantation were included and followed for a minimum of 1 year.
