Influence of radiotherapy on cardiac implantable devices and leads—a single-institution analysis and critical evaluation of current guidelines
Collecting lead parameters in addition to secure malfunctions like electrical restarts and memory erasure revealed a significant proportion of treatment courses with temporary changes, though no correlation with individual treatment plans or adverse events was found. The focus on reducing neutron-producing radiation could be further supported.
