BACKGROUND: We observed a case of conductor externalization in a Biotronik Linox lead.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate lead performance of the Linox lead and the identical Sorin Vigila lead and prevalence of conductor externalization.
METHODS: We compared lead performance of all Linox and Vigila leads implanted at our center (BL group; n = 93) with that of all Boston Scientific Endotak Reliance leads (ER group; n = 190) and Medtronic Sprint Quattro leads (SQ group; n = 202) implanted during the same period. We screened all patients in the BL group for conductor externalization.
RESULTS: We identified 8 cases of lead failures in the BL group (index case of conductor externalization, 6 cases of nonphysiological high-rate sensing, and 1 case of high-voltage conductor fracture). Prospective fluoroscopic screening of 98% of all active BL group cases revealed 1 additional case of conductor externalization. The median follow-up was 41, 27, and 29 months for the BL group, ER group, and SQ group, respectively; lead survival was 94.9%, 99.2%, and 100% at 3 years and 88%, 97.5%, and 100% at 5 years (P = .038 for BL group vs ER group and P = .007 for BL group vs SQ group using the log-rank test). Younger age at implant was an independent predictor of lead failure in the BL group (adjusted hazard ratio 0.85; 95% confidence interval 0.77-0.94; P = .001).
CONCLUSION: At our center, survival of the Linox lead is 88% at 5 years and significantly worse than that of other leads. Conductor externalization is present in a minority of failed Linox leads. Younger age at implant is an independent predictor of Linox lead failure.
