Coworker calls me on Saturday night to discuss a 14% failure rate at 52 months in defib leads. All I know is we get paid the most commission. Is that a bad rate? Too inexperienced to know. Advise.

 

Troll.

 

Is 14% bad at 52 months? Considering the big three have 95%+ At 9 years. Yes.

 

Oh crap. Thanks. That is worrisome.

 

Keep posting the One-Offs you trolls. Love these single site registries, this one not even accepted for any publication yet. Do some googling and you'll find the same occasional failure with Endotak and all other leads. Just a manifestation of small cables being bent in the human body..... It happens people, stop slingin the mud. Good luck out there folks

 

One off my arse. Remember the Riata perforation paper from Mass Gen? You bottom feeder trolls ran with that like you were a mini-MDT. Face it, your lead design is terribly flawed.

 

i smell the demise of these bottom feeders. No offense! This isnt just one article. Many have been published. There just isnt as much excitement as Riata because St. Jude was about to become number one permanently if Riata didn't happen.

btw...... OUPS? effin Eurotrash

 

...... like your Biotroink company .... Ooooooops

 

Go talk the Spectranetics people and ask them about the Sprint Q's that are popping up fractured. Oh, but that's OK because that stuff happens.

 

Why don't you enlighten us? If there were quattros that were being removed due to frx everybody would know. Since you work for jokey BTK, I wouldn't be surprised if you meant sprint fidelis, as everybody knows how well trained and tech savvy you are.

Spare the awesome commission story, and QOL crap as it's not going to be there much longer.

 

How dare someone take a shot at MDT? Sounds like they hit a nerve with you.

 

...... can we get back to the subject and discuss Biotroink lead failures?

 

They are a result of implanter technique.

 

Honestly, been doing this way to long to throw ANY stones in glass houses....we need to all just accept tachy leads are the weakest link regardless of company out there....they ALL have issues

 

.... true but some are weaker than others. And some have done the decent thing and took them off the market while others keep on selling .....

 

Such a great study... Linox patients had 2 times as many multi lead systems vs. others studied, and 4 times as many previous competitive lead failures prior to implant of Linox lead, and Linox leads were predominately implanted by only 1 of the 3 centers.

End result - same outcomes

To me it actually sounds like the deck was stacked against Biotronik and still came out with same end result

Hardly apples to apples study

 

..... and re-oops.......

Old news and a publication with holes through out.

 

The holes are in the insulation through out, not in the study
