Far and away, this is the most crucial point to come out of this article:
"We are only now learning the scope of the problem with Riata and Riata ST. The lead mechanical failures and externalizations of this lead may only first occur four to five years after implant. Since Durata leads are only now approaching that interval, it is not surprising that we have not seen many troubling signals with this lead. It remains to be seen what the future holds."
This should be on everyone's mind who is present at a Durata implant.
