Implication

May warrant high-voltage testing to unmask silent Riata lead failure; hypothesis-generating for revised surveillance protocols.

Structured PICO

Population

1 81-year-old man scheduled for an elective implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) generator exchange because of battery depletion, with a Riata 1570 lead implanted 70 months prior for primary prevention.

Intervention

High-voltage shock testing

Outcome

Lead malfunction during high-voltage shock testingsafety

High-voltage shock testing may be necessary to disclose silent lead malfunction in Riata ICD leads, even when electrical parameters and fluoroscopy appear normal.
