ABSTRACT
A higher rate of complications and need for reoperation has been identified with epicardial and endocardial defibrillator systems. Improved reliability may be achieved with alternate designs that use coated wire and coated coil conductors. Six-year reliability in the 98% range is reported for one bipolar design, the Sulzer Intermedics Intervene lead.
