Brief Summary

The Cardiac Lead Assessment Study (CLAS) is designed as a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, international postmarket surveillance study under 522 Order PS120111 (August 16, 2012).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Other Visual Lead Anomalies by Each Subcategory (From Year 1 to Year 2) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata LeadsThis outcome is assessed from year 1 to year 2 of follow-up

Annual hazard rate calculated as proportion of leads adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of other visual lead anomaly to total follow up years from year 1 to year 2

Number of Other Visual Lead Anomalies by Each Subcategory (Fracture, Kink, Subclavian Crush, Other Irregularities)This outcome is assessed at enrollment

The prevalence of other visual lead anomalies (by each subcategory) was calculated as the number of leads that have been shown to have other visual anomaly (by each subcategory) at the time of enrollment in each of the 4 lead groups divided by total number of leads in enrolled patients in each of the 4 lead groups.

The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Externalized Conductors (From Year 1 to Year 2) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata Leads.year 1 to year 2 follow-up

Annual hazard rate calculated as ratio of all leads that are adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of externalized conductors to total follow-up years from year 1 to year 2

Number of Leads With Electrical DysfunctionThis outcome is assessed at enrollment and over the course of 3 years of follow-up

The prevalence of electrical dysfunction was calculated as the number of leads that have electrical dysfunction through three years of follow-up for the 4 lead groups divided by total number of leads in enrolled patients in each of the 4 lead groups.

Number of Leads With Externalized ConductorsThis outcome is assessed at enrollment

The prevalence of externalized conductors was calculated as the number of leads that have been shown to have externalized conductors by imaging at the time of enrollment in each of the 4 lead groups divided by total number of leads in enrolled patients in each of the 4 lead groups

The Annual Hazard Rate of Lead Electrical Dysfunction in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata Leads.This outcome is assessed from enrollment through the course of 3 years of follow-up

Annual hazard rate is the proportion of number of leads with electrical dysfunction to the total number of lead follow-up years.

The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Externalized Conductors (From Enrollment to Year 1) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata Leads.year 1 follow-up

Annual hazard rate calculated as ratio of all leads that are adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of externalized conductors to total follow-up years from enrollment to year 1

The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Externalized Conductors (From Year 2 to Year 3) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata Leads.year 2 to year 3 follow-up

Annual hazard rate calculated as ratio of all leads that are adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of externalized conductors to total follow-up years from year 2 to year 3

The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Other Visual Lead Anomalies by Each Subcategory (From Enrollment to Year 1) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata LeadsThis outcome is assessed from enrollment to year 1

Annual hazard rate calculated as proportion of leads adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of other visual lead anomaly to total follow up years from enrollment to year 1

The Annual Hazard Rate of New Cases of Other Visual Lead Anomalies by Each Subcategory (From Year 2 to Year 3) in the Riata, Riata ST, QuickSite/QuickFlex (1056T, 1058T, 1156T, 1158T) and Durata LeadsThis outcome is assessed from year 2 to year 3 follow-up

Annual hazard rate calculated as proportion of leads adjudicated by the committee and a have definite outcome of presence of other visual lead anomaly to total follow up years from year 2 to year 3

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Estimation of Cumulative Lead Anomaly Events From Time of Detecting Externalized Conductors to Electrical Dysfunction, by Year of Initial ImplantThis outcome is assessed from time of detecting EC till the course of 3 years of follow-up

Kaplan-Meier analysis of time from externalized conductors (EC) to electrical dysfunction, by year of initial implant. Count of cumulative lead anomaly events from time of detecting EC

Estimation of Cumulative Lead Anomaly Events From Time of Detecting Externalized Conductors to Clinical Intervention, by Year of Initial ImplantThis outcome is assessed from time of detection of externalized conductor to 3 years follow-up

time from externalized conductors to clinical intervention for all lead subgroups.

Estimation of Lead Anomaly Events From Time of Other Visual Lead Anomalies by Each Subcategory to Clinical Intervention, by Year of Initial ImplantThis outcome is assessed from time of detection of other visual lead anomaly until 3 years of follow-up

Kaplan-Meier analysis of time from visual lead anomalies for all lead and lead age subcategories to clinical intervention

Number of Participants With an Adverse Event Through 30 Days Post-intervention for Lead (e.g. Extraction, Abandonment, Revision, Other).within 30 days associated with study lead related interventions

Number of participants with adverse events within 30 days associated with study lead related interventions for each lead group

Comparison of Number of Patients With Externalized Conductors to Number of Patients Without Externalized Conductors (EC)This outcome is assessed from enrollment till the course of 3 years of follow-up

Comparison of patients with EC to those without EC: lead size effect on number of patients with or without EC (7F and 8F are lead sizes, F = French). Riata leads have 8F diameter and Riata ST leads have 7F diameter. The Riata/Riata ST families of leads were used for this comparison only to determine whether the difference in lead size (with the silicon material and other lead design factors controlled for) had an effect on externalization of conductors.

Comparison of Patients With Electrical Dysfunction to Those Without Electrical Dysfunction (ED).This outcome is assessed from enrollment till the course of 3 years of follow-up

Comparison of patients with ED to those without ED: subject age effect on ED

Estimation of Cumulative Lead Anomaly Events From Time of Detecting Other Visual Lead Anomaly to Electrical Dysfunction, by Year of Initial ImplantThis outcome is assessed from time of detecting other visual lead anomaly till the course of 3 years of follow-up

Kaplan-Meier analysis of time from other visual lead anomaly to electrical dysfunction, by year of initial implant. Count of cumulative lead anomaly events from time of detecting other visual lead anomaly
