Normal parameters may miss Riata lead failure to deliver therapy; hypothesis-generating for improved integrity surveillance.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights that St. Jude Medical systems with Riata leads may fail to deliver therapy despite normal electrical parameters during routine surveillance.
Shah et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Defibrillator failure (n=1). St. Jude Medical defibrillator with Riata lead was evaluated. A St. Jude Medical defibrillator with a Riata lead failed to deliver therapy due to internal wire externalization, despite showing normal electrical parameters during routine surveillance.
