Alerts clinicians to inspect radiographs for conductor separation with this lead; leaves open population-level failure rates.
Highlights a specific mechanism of late failure (conductor separation) in a single-coil active fix implantable defibrillator lead.
Richards et al. (2010) studied this question. A single-coil active fix implantable defibrillator lead model exhibited late malfunction in two patients due to conductor separation visible on chest radiographs.
