Abstract:Background
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) include pulse generators and leads. In some implanting centers, it is a common practice to combine devices with leads from different companies. Case series have reported episodic high‐impedance changes in Boston Scientific CIEDs with competitor leads. We investigated the incidence of high‐impedance abnormalities in matched versus mismatched Boston Scientific Accolade pacemakers.
Methods
A retrospective chart review identified all consecutive Boston Scien… Show more
