Abstract: BackgroundActive fixation leads have provided stable atrial and ventricular pacing; however, long-term follow-up data have not been satisfactory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term reliability of active fixation leads and their electrical characteristic stability.MethodsA total of 1196 pacing leads were implanted in 830 patients consecutively between 2002 and 2013. In this retrospective study, we were able to trace 1092 leads in 750 patients to investigate the prognosis of implanted lea… Show more

“…Among the veins in the upper extremity, the cephalic and axillary veins are regarded as being suitable for venous access in the upper limb. The cephalic vein is widely used as the first choice for venous cutdown for the insertion of chronic indwelling central venous access devices and pacemaker and defibrillator lead insertion, with a reduced rate of acute complications and higher success rate [1215].…”

“…The mannitol melts in the cardiac chamber allowing helix fixation. Lead durability has been proven satisfactory [24]. Unfortunately, Fineline™ leads are at high-risk for disruption (severance) with traction and difficulties during lead extraction procedures have led many operators to avoid use of these leads.…”
