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...
متن کاملThe Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator: Not For All
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have a proven role in primary and secondary prevention of sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias. Transvenous ICD systems despite this proven benefit, have been plagued by lead problems including fracture, insulation breaks and recalls; and issues with transvenous access including pneumothorax and venous obstruction. Infected or fractured leads ...
متن کاملIntrapericardial Implantation of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator in a Child
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can be a crucial therapeutic modality for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome and cardiomyopathy. Because transvenous implantation of ICD is mostly unfeasible for pediatric patients due to anatomical and technical limitations, epicardial patch type or subcutaneous type ICD have been used. Implantation ...
متن کاملTotally submuscular implantation of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator: a safe and effective solution for obese or oversized patients
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.
متن کاملClinical Experience With the Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease.
BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death is a major contributor to mortality for adults with congenital heart disease. The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has emerged as a novel tool for prevention of sudden cardiac death, but clinical performance data for adults with congenital heart disease are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective study involving 7 centers over a 5-...
