Abstract:
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is an important tool in the armamentarium of an electrophysiologist. Multiple randomized trials over the last decade have shown that S-ICDs are as efficacious as the transvenous ICDs and eliminate complications related to vascular access. In this review, we highlight issues unique to S-ICD implantation, focusing not only on the surgical implantation procedure, but also the pre- and postimplant management of the patient.
