Increased Perforation Risk with an MRI‐Conditional Pacing Lead: A Single‐Center Study

Abstract

In contradiction to prior studies, this retrospective study suggests an increased perforation rate with MDT CapSureFix 5086 MRI SureScan leads. Most perforations were delayed perforations, presenting more than 3 weeks postimplant. Higher volume prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm our findings.
