Prompts vigilance for late lead-related shocks; leaves open incidence and durability in larger cohorts.
Case Report (n=4)
Late insulation breaks in endocardial sensing leads can cause inappropriate discharges 10-30 months post-implantation and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of device failure.
Peters et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Patients with endocardial rate sensing leads for cardioverter defibrillators (n=4). Late insulation break in endocardial sensing leads was evaluated on Inappropriate discharges. Late insulation breaks in endocardial sensing leads for cardioverter defibrillators caused inappropriate discharges 10-30 months post-implantation in four patients.
