Key result
The new co-radial bipolar pacing leads demonstrated excellent or good X-ray visibility in 82 of 103 patients, with stable pacing characteristics and 0 lead-related complications over 18 months.

Supports short-term safety of co-radial bipolar leads; leaves open need for randomized trials versus conventional leads.
Observational (n=103)
Do co-radial bipolar pacing leads demonstrate stable electrical characteristics and safety over 18 months in patients requiring pacing?
Co-radial bipolar pacing leads demonstrate excellent handling, adequate visibility, and stable electrical performance up to 18 months.
Tang et al. (1997) reported an observational. Co-radial bipolar pacing leads (Intermedics Thin-Line) was evaluated on X-ray visibility, lead handling, impedance, sensitivity threshold, and pacing threshold. The new co-radial bipolar pacing leads demonstrated excellent or good X-ray visibility in 82 of 103 patients, with stable pacing characteristics and 0 lead-related complications over 18 months.
