Population
521 Transvene 6936/6966 ICD implants in a five-center substudy, plus data from a Multicenter Registry and FDA databases
I
Intervention
Transvene models 6936/6966 coaxial polyurethane ICD leads
O
Outcome
Lead failure (survival probability) and structural causes of failuresafety
Transvene models 6936 and 6966 coaxial polyurethane ICD leads are prone to structural failure over time, requiring frequent evaluation.
