Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) prevent sudden death from cardiac causes in selected patients but require the use of transvenous lead systems. To eliminate the need for venous access, ...
Years ago, during training, I remember a colleague dissing an early model of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) because it was primitive. All it did was shock ventricular tachycardia (VT) ...
Traditionally implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been implanted transvenously by creating a pouch in the subclavicular area and gaining vascular access to the heart. This approach, ...
