Supports potential long-term stability of steroid-eluting leads; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do steroid-eluting endocardial leads maintain low stimulation thresholds and good sensing levels long-term?
Steroid-eluting endocardial leads demonstrate stable, low stimulation thresholds and good sensing capabilities up to 2 years post-implantation.
