Totally submuscular implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator: a safe and effective solution for obese or oversized patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is a safe alternative to transvenous ICD. We describe a submuscular S-ICD placement technique in a severely obese with an oversized chest. Submuscular configuration allows optimal system positioning and impendence values warranting a safe and effective shock transmission. This technique is safe and improves patients comfort.

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...

Introduction The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is a safe and effective treatment for prevention of sudden cardiac death. It is typically not used in patients who require additional therapies conferred by transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) systems, such as bradycardia pacing or antitachycardia pacing (ATP) for ventricular tachycardia (VT). D...

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 ...
