Riata implantable cardioverter-defibrillator leads are prone to failure by conductor externalization and/or electrical dysfunction. The objectives of this study were to determine the predictors of the Riata lead failure, to assess the association of conductor externalization and electrical lead failure, and to analyse the rates of lead failure over time.
