St. Jude Medical (NYSE: STJ) is heading lower Tuesday morning following publication of a new research report for its Durata ICD.
Specifically, the study was conducted by Dr. Robert Houser and focused on Durata lead failures. Houser cautions that data is preliminary and hypothesis generating and additional studies are needed.
The conclusion from the study is that Durata leads failed due to insulation abrasions. Riata ST Optim did not prevent the abrasions, which Houser and his team said developed under 4 years after implant.

The report comes following headlines last week that the FDA was going to order a review of Riata Defibrillator leads. Shares of St. Jude are down about 0.2 percent in early trading.
