Impact of fracture-prone implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads on long-term patient mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long-term relationship between fracture-prone implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads and poor prognosis remains unclear in Japanese patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of the records of 445 patients who underwent implantation of advisory/Linox leads (Sprint Fidelis, 118; Riata, nine; Isoline, 10; Linox S/SD, 45) and non-advisory leads (Endotak Reliance, 33; Durata, 199; Sprint non-Fidelis, 31) between January 2005 and June 2012 at our hospital. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and ICD lead failure. The secondary outcomes were cardiovascular mortality, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and the composite outcome of cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalization.

Results

During the follow-up period (median, 8.6
