Population

1,051 patients with implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in a single cardiology department

Intervention

ICD generator and lead advisories/recalls

Outcome

Rate of ICD generator and lead advisories, clinical complications, and financial implicationssafety

ICD recalls and safety alerts affect over a quarter of devices, leading to significant financial costs and extra outpatient visits, though major clinical complications are rare.
