Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in patients with increased risk of sudden cardiac death, but use of these devices has been limited by complications with the ...

A novel device without transvenous leads performs well in a series of pilot studies. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the superiority of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to ...

VIENNA — Patients implanted with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD System, Cameron Health and Boston Scientific) can safely undergo MRI, according to a study of the first ...

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) therapies represent a significant advance in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. By positioning both the generator and the lead entirely ...

An entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) differs from a transvenous ICD in that a single lead is placed subcutaneously. This single lead comprises 2 sensing ring ...

BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study ...

For older patients without an indication for pacing, the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD; Boston Scientific) provides results comparable to those seen with traditional ...

In a typical population of patients requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy without pacing, mostly for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; ...
