Multicenter Study Clinical TrialClinical experience and procedural outcomes associated with the DF4 implantable cardioverter defibrillator system: the SJ4 postapproval study.
Current implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) employ two or three low- and high-voltage lead connectors, adding complexity and bulk, sometimes resulting in incorrect connections and adverse events. The SJ4 study evaluates the performance of a novel integrated single-lead DF4 connection system by characterizing lead measurements, handling characteristics, and outcomes. ⋯ The DF4 system overall performed very well with few complications at implant and in follow-up.
