Clinical and Electrical Performance of Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene‐Covered Defibrillator Leads in Comparison to Traditional Leads

Abstract

Data from the REFLEx study indicate that ePTFE-covered leads are not inferior to comparative leads with respect to electrical performance and implant conversion testing. We cannot conclude that the first shock conversion efficacy of ePTFE covered leads was statistically noninferior to comparative leads.
