Abstract

Severe abrasion of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator leads is frequently found during abdominal generator replacement and occasionally results in lead system failure. Careful inspection of leads at the time of generator replacement will identify such abrasions, and, in some cases, lead repair or replacement may be indicated.
