INGEVITY Study Participants
Each participant was allowed to have up to 2 INGEVITY leads contribute to endpoint analyses -- one per chamber (right atrium and right ventricle). Final lead implanted or attempted during initial procedure per chamber was used for analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Lead implant through 3 month follow up

Population: Final lead implanted or attempted during initial procedure per chamber was used for analysis. Analysis leads were from participants who met inclusion/exclusion criteria and were implanted or attempted with INGEVITY lead(s). Of the 1060 enrolled participants, 24 did not meet these criteria and were excluded from the analysis.

Timeframe: Implant through 12 months (including available data beyond 12 months)

Population: Final lead implanted or attempted during initial procedure per chamber was used for analysis. Analysis leads were from participants who met inclusion/exclusion criteria and were implanted or attempted with INGEVITY lead(s). Of the 1060 enrolled participants, 24 did not meet these criteria and were excluded from the analysis.

Hazard rate of lead-related complications over time. This endpoint will use the Weibull distribution to estimate the hazard over time by evaluating the Weibull shape parameter. A Weibull shape greater than one (\>1), equal to one (=1) and less than one (\<1) indicates accelerating, constant, and decelerating hazard of lead-related complications over time, respectively. This endpoint requires the Weibull shape estimate to be less than 1.
