Abstract:Introduction
Noise oversensing encountered in patients with Abbott Tendril leads in our hospital triggered an internal investigation.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed patients with a Tendril lead model 1688, 1788, 1888, and 2088. Most leads were connected to Abbott generators. To exclude a primary generator issue as the cause of noise oversensing, we enrolled a cohort of patients in whom Medtronic CapSureFix leads model 4076 and 5076 were prospectively connected to similar Abbott generators.

“…Several other studies have since been published (Table 1). 4–6 All of these studies consistently showed that the rate of electrical abnormalities noted with Tendril leads vary from 6%‐19% as compared to less than 2% with non‐Tendril leads over 4–5 years of follow‐up. These results remained true in patients with Abbott and non‐Abbott generators.…”
