Medtronic Leads may be riskier for children

By Hurley, McKenna & Mertz

ADVERTISEMENTS

?The defibrillator leads pulled off the market this week by Medtronic Inc. may pose a higher risk of fracture in younger adults and children, a population for whom the devices were particularly popular in part because of their small diameter. Children make up a relatively small share of patients who receive the implanted devices. But leads -- wires that attach defibrillators to patients' hearts -- tend to come under greater stress in more-active people, including kids, adolescents and younger adults.?

Anna Wilde Mathews and Thomas M. Burton, Wall Street Journal, 10-19-07
