Transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators are a type of implantable cardiac device. They are effective at reducing total and arrhythmic mortality in patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) are a new alternative that avoids the disadvantages of transvenous lead placement. In this case series, we report on the initial feasibility and safety of S-ICD implantation in Singapore.
经静脉植入式心律转复除颤器是一种植入式心脏设备。它们在降低心脏性猝死风险患者的全因死亡率和心律失常死亡率方面有效。皮下植入式心律转复除颤器(S-ICD)是一种新的选择,可避免经静脉导线植入的缺点。在本病例系列中,我们报告了新加坡S-ICD植入的初步可行性和安全性。
