Subacute Perforation of the St. Jude Riata Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillator Lead: A Report of Two Pediatric Cases

Authors: T. Ben Morrison, Michael J. Ackerman, Robert F. Rea

Published in: Pediatric Cardiology | Issue 6/2009

Abstract

The Medtronic Riata implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) lead is a 7-Fr ICD lead shown to have a propensity for cardiac perforation. This report details two pediatric cases of cardiac perforation in patients with a Riata ICD lead. Analysis regarding the effect of ICD implantation techniques on cardiac perforation specific to pediatric patients is discussed.
