Abstract

The article focuses on the Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD), a development in the defibrillation therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Topics include the number of patients with congenital heart disease surviving to adulthood is increasing; mentions the growing body of literature evaluating the suitability of S-ICD in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD); and also mentions several forms of ACHD with high risk of SCD.

Abstract

A 61-year-old woman with symptomatic complete heart block was referred for permanent pacemaker. The presence of a left-sided arteriovenous fistula and right-sided mastectomy with lymph node dissection precluded the implantation of a transvenous pacemaker, and therefore, a leadless pacemaker was recommended. The patient also had an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. The passage of a 27-French introducer sheath housing the leadless pacemaker through IVC filter was carefully visualized under fluoroscopy and advanced to the right ventricle without any compromise to the filter. This case report shows the safety of passage of large sheaths via the IVC filter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
