Popis: Background. Boston Scientific INGEVITY+ pacing lead (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) has been upgraded to INGEVITY. The performance of the INGEVITY+ pacing lead has not yet been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term safety, effectiveness, and handling experience of INGEVITY+ leads. Methods. Consecutive patients were included from 9 institutions in Korea, where 400 leads (200 right ventricular active fixation leads and 200 right atrial active fixation leads) were implanted or attempted in 200 subjects. Results. During the implantation, only one patient required a lead change because of lead screw failure. The handling questionnaires of the lead received very positive feedback with 88% of operators agreeing that it is easy for leads to pass through small vessels or vessels with multiple leads. At the 3-month follow-up, 95.7% of RA leads and 99.5% of RV leads had pacing thresholds less than 1.5 V. A total of 92.4% of atrial leads had amplitudes greater than 1.5 mV, and 96.5% of ventricular leads had sensing amplitudes greater than 5 mV at 3 months. A total of 99.8% had impedances between 300 and 1,300 ohms. The lead-related complication-free rate for all leads during follow-up was 100%, and the overall rates of lead dislodgment, perforation, and pericardial effusion were all 0.0%. Conclusions. The INGEVITY+ pacing lead exhibited exceptional clinical performance, with a high complication-free rate throughout the 3-month follow-up period. In addition, the lead displayed excellent electrical characteristics, and the lead-handling experience was reported to be very good.
