Subpectoral implantation of cardioverter-defibrillator combined with a nonepicardial lead system: Preliminary experience with a novel approach

The use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been accepted as standard therapy in patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest and with symptomatic recurrent ventricular arrhythmias refractory to conventional antiarrhythmic agents. A non-thoracotomy system using an FDA-approved...

Zusammenfassung:The use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been accepted as standard therapy in patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest and with symptomatic recurrent ventricular arrhythmias refractory to conventional antiarrhythmic agents. A non-thoracotomy system using an FDA-approved transvenous spring coil electrode in 15 patients is discussed.
