Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical experience with pacemaker pulse generators and transvenous leads: An 8-year prospective multicenter study
Robert G. Hauser,David L. Hayes,Linda M. Kallinen,David S. Cannom,Andrew E. Epstein,Adrian K. Almquist,Susan L. Song,G. Frank O. Tyers,Stephen C. Vlay,Marleen Irwin +9 more
TL;DR: Overall pulse generator performance was satisfactory and major adverse clinical events due to pulse generator end-of-service life behavior were related to electronic and connector defects, and both normal and severe battery depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety and anger in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Responses after automatic internal cardioverter defibrillator implantation.
TL;DR: The evaluation of this group of patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias indicates a high degree of anxiety and anger, which potentially may influence outcome, and the reduction in defibrillator discharges after the first 6 months in addition to a reduced state of anxiety is a relationship that merits further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic defibrillation in man. The initial surgical experience.
Levi Watkins,M. Mirowski,Morton M. Mower,Philip R. Reid,Lawrence S.C. Griffith,Stephen C. Vlay,Myron L. Weisfeldt,Vincent L. Gott +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the automatic defibrillator is capable of diagnosing and terminating potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias and can be safely accomplished in an exceedingly high risk population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicenter experience with failed and recalled implantable cardioverter-defibrillator pulse generators
Robert G. Hauser,David L. Hayes,Andrew E. Epstein,David S. Cannom,Stephen C. Vlay,Susan L. Song,G. Frank O. Tyers +6 more
TL;DR: Based on analysis of failed and recalled devices, the performance of contemporary ICDs has been adversely affected by premature battery depletion, electronic failure, and manufacturers' recalls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Structural Failure of Coaxial Polyurethane Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Leads
Robert G. Hauser,David S. Cannom,David L. Hayes,Victor Parsonnet,John J. Hayes,Norman Ratliff,G. Frank O. Tyers,Andrew E. Epstein,Stephen C. Vlay,Seymour Furman,Jay N. Gross +10 more
TL;DR: Transvene models 6936 and 6966 coaxial polyurethane ICD leads are prone to failure over time and patients who have these leads should be evaluated frequently.
