Do steroid-eluting pacing leads with 1.2-mm2 electrodes provide favorable electrophysiological parameters and handling characteristics in patients requiring pacemakers?
Steroid-eluting pacing leads with 1.2-mm2 electrodes demonstrate favorable handling, stable low pacing thresholds, and high pacing impedances, potentially increasing pacemaker longevity.
DANILOVIC et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Patients requiring permanent pacing (n=33). Steroid-eluting pacing leads with 1.2-mm2 hemispherical electrodes was evaluated on Reoperation rate. Steroid-eluting pacing leads with 1.2-mm2 electrodes demonstrated a 0% reoperation rate and favorable chronic electrical characteristics over a mean follow-up of 25 months.
