Inappropriate shock (IAS) is the most frequent device-related complication among patients with subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD). Air entrapment (AE) has been described as an underdiagnosed cause of early postimplant IAS. We report 6 consecutive cases of early IAS after S-ICD implant, in whom the electrogram analysis (EGM) and/or chest radiography (CXR) were consistent with AE.
不适当电击(IAS)是皮下植入式心律转复除颤器(S-ICD)患者中最常见的与设备相关的并发症。空气栓塞(AE)已被描述为植入后早期IAS的一种诊断不足的原因。我们报告了6例连续的S-ICD植入后早期IAS病例,其心电图分析(EGM)和/或胸部X线摄影(CXR)结果与AE一致。
