“…Thus, the majority of patients with cable externalization do not have electrical failure. Zeitler et al 11 performed a meta-analysis examining the risk of cable externalization as they relate to electrical failure and found that they were associated with a 6-fold risk, but that there was ongoing risk of electrical failure without visible cable externalization, similar to our findings. The mechanism of electrical failure in these patients is not elucidated by this study, but the results do correspond to previous work where inside-out abrasion was found in only 27.9% when returned product analysis was performed on leads with documented electrical failure.…”

“…The risk for the patients is mainly linked to electrical failure[1,6] ranging from 1.3%[2] to 17.3%[10]. In our experience electrical abnormalities were found in 15% of patients, the majority with 8Fr leads.…”

“…Some other studies have shown that leads with EC were more prone to electrical dysfunction, in particular lower R waves[4,6,11]. A recent prospective observational study showed[12] that the incidence of new electrical dysfunction was 6.4% at 12 mo and was associated with EC.…”
