OBJECTIVE: To identify and report a single center experience with upper airway stimulator device-related failures.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case series.
SETTING: Single tertiary academic center.
METHODS: Retrospective data on 352 patients who underwent UAS surgery with an Inspire device from 2016 to 2023 was collected, including demographics, comorbidities, and nature of device failure requiring revision surgery.
RESULTS: Out of the 348 patients included in our analysis, 16 (4.6 %) required revision due to device failure, with an average interval of 772 days (∼2 years) between initial implant and revision. Most failures were attributed to respiratory sensing lead damage (n = 11, 68.8 %), resulting in high system impedance and subsequent device malfunction. Lead fracture causes varied, including idiopathic occurrences and potential trauma. Lead migration was noted in one case (6.3 %), where the hypoglossal electrode detached from the nerve. Two patients (12.3 %) required implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement, one after experiencing trauma and the other due to unclear source of malfunction. One patient (6.3 %) required complete system replacement following high lead impedance and absent tongue motion. The last patient required replacement of both the IPG and respiratory lead after experiencing high lead impedance (6.3 %).
CONCLUSION: Respiratory sensing lead fracture emerged as the leading cause of device failure in this cohort, underscoring the need to address this under-reported issue, potentially linked to the time lapse after device implantation.
