Reliable performance statistics for implantable pacing leads are not readily available because of difficulties involved in data collection. An alternate source of data exists in the form of commercial monitoring service data. The example considered here involves transtelephonic follow-up data collected by CardioCare, a cardiac monitoring service. This presentation describes a procedure used to identify complications arising from pacing leads, and also presents a method for proper analysis of the data. Analyses comparing silicone leads and polyurethane leads were performed on leads manufactured by five major manufacturers in the United States. The results indicate that the performance of polyurethane unipolar leads is similar to that of the silicone unipolar leads. However, the polyurethane bipolar leads did not perform as well as the silicone bipolar leads.
由于数据收集存在困难，目前尚无法轻易获得可靠的植入式起搏导线性能统计数据。商业监测服务数据是另一种数据来源。这里所考虑的例子涉及由心脏监测服务机构CardioCare收集的电话传输随访数据。本报告描述了一种用于识别起搏导线引发并发症的程序，并介绍了一种对数据进行正确分析的方法。对美国五大制造商生产的导线进行了硅胶导线与聚氨酯导线的对比分析。结果表明，聚氨酯单极导线的性能与硅胶单极导线相似。然而，聚氨酯双极导线的性能不如硅胶双极导线。
