Implication

Damaged Riata leads may promote thrombus even without technical failure; this case leaves open the need for prospective risk assessment.

Structured PICO

Population

67-year-old man with a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with a Riata lead, model #7020 implanted in 2007, presenting with deterioration of heart failure (n=1).

Intervention

Surgical removal of defective Riata ICD lead during coronary artery bypass surgery.

Outcome

In vivo thrombogenicity and insulation damage of the Riata lead.safety

This case demonstrates that Riata leads with insulation damage can be prone to thrombus formation, which may have clinical significance even without technical lead failure.
