Abstract :
We report a case of vertebral artery dissection presenting 2 days after ICD implantation with defibrillation threshold testing in a 57-year old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The association between vertebral artery dissection and neck trauma and the role of DFT testing in ICD implantation are discussed.
