LUKS-Leads Registry on Long-term Performance of ICD Leads

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

defibrillator lead: observation of long-term performance of defibrillator leads

Study summary

All patients having an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implanted and having follow-up at the Cantonal Hospital Lucerne (LUKS), the investigator center, are included in this retrospective ICD lead registry from 2006 onwards. Data is collected prospectively from december 2016 onwards. After certain ICD-leads tended to fail early the investigators aimed for a registry monitoring our patient population with defibrillator leads and evaluating their long-term performance.
