Abstract
Until Apr. 1982, we have implanted 365 generators and 250 leads in 222 cases. The ratio of generator failure was 7.3% in non-PPG, 0.6% in PPG and 0.8% in MPPG. The ratio of lead fracture was 20% in myocardial leads and 3.6% in catheter leads. Conclusion: 1). Addition of programmability has not resulted in the increase of generator failure. 2). The ratio of myocardial lead fracture is higher than that of catheter lead fracture.
