Key result
No definite material failures were observed in 415 ThinLine bipolar pacing leads over a mean follow-up of 19 months, with a predicted 10-year survival lower 95% confidence limit of 96.0%.
Why the study?
Do ThinLine co-radial bipolar pacing leads provide reliable pacing and longevity in patients requiring pacemakers?

Do ThinLine co-radial bipolar pacing leads provide reliable pacing and longevity in patients requiring pacemakers?
The ThinLine bipolar pacing lead demonstrates excellent predicted longevity and reliable pacing/sensing thresholds, though its lower impedance may impact generator battery life.
Nagatomo et al. (2000) reported an observational. ThinLine bipolar pacing lead was evaluated on Definite failure in lead materials. No definite material failures were observed in 415 ThinLine bipolar pacing leads over a mean follow-up of 19 months, with a predicted 10-year survival lower 95% confidence limit of 96.0%.
