Advances in the field of defibrillation have brought to practice different types of devices that
include the transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with or without cardiac …

Background The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) was designed to
avoid complications related to the transvenous ICD lead by using an entirely extrathoracic …

The completely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is rapidly
evolving to become a complete alternative for the transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) leaving the …

Within the last decade, implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) systems with non‐
transvenous leads were developed in order to minimize complications related to the …

Background: Trials comparing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy with
cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) are limited to selected patients …

Background—Candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) receive either a
