Document Details : Title: Novel use of a subcutaneous shock lead to create an epicardial implantable cardioverter/ defibrillator system via a limited thoracotomy Author(s): R. Beelen , F. Casselman , P. Geelen Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 64 Issue: 5 Date: 2009 Pages: 665-666 DOI: 10.2143/AC.64.5.2042697 Abstract : We report the case of a novel use of a subcutaneous shock lead to create an epicardial implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) system via a limited thoracotomy in a patient with poor vascular access. Performance of the system is comparable to the conventional ICD system without the disadvantages of other available epicardial ICD systems. |
