Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator registry risk score models for acute procedural complications or death after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation.
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation are at risk of postprocedural complications. However, we do not have a risk stratification schema to identify patients at high and low risk of adverse events. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data from 268 701 ICD implants submitted to the ICD Registry and developed logistic regression models to identify v...
متن کاملImplantation of the Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) was introduced to reduce acute transvenous leadrelated complications, such as pneumothorax, endocarditis, cardiac perforation, and lead dislodgements, as well as the complications related to chronic indwelling leads, such as lead failure, venous obstruction, and bacteremia. The standard implantation technique of the S-ICD involves ...

متن کاملThoracoscopic implantation of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
(Chest 1993; 103:271-72) T he implantable cardioverter defibrillator (lCD) has become accepted treatment for the management of certain malignant ventricular arrhythmias. ‘ Implantation ofthe lCD usually requires an anterolateral thoracotomy through which the patch electrodes and sensing electrodes are placed, in either an intraor an extrapericardial position, although subcostal and subxiphoid a...
متن کاملPacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation without reversal of warfarin therapy.
The study evaluated all patients undergoing permanent pacemaker and ICD implantation over a 4-year period to determine if anticoagulated patients required normalization of coagulation factors in the periprocedural period. The study included 1,025 (597 men, 428 women, age 24-100 years, mean 72 years) consecutive patients who underwent device implantation using mostly a percutaneous subclavian ap...
