Revision of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator to intermuscular pocket to prevent inappropriate shocks

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
Sensing and defibrillation threshold for a S‐ICD are impacted by positioning at implant or revision. The intermuscular pocket prevents device migration and provides appropriate, stable sensing vectors.

Successful treatment of direct hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized fiber for septic shock and severe acute kidney injury due to ceftriaxone-resistant Escherichia coli: a case report with literature review

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2020
Background Septic shock is a life-threatening condition and one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury. Polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) is used to reduce endotoxin levels in blood.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Feasibility and Efficacy of His Bundle Pacing or Left Bundle Pacing Combined With Atrioventricular Node Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation and Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Persistent atrial fibrillation may lead to a higher probability of inappropriate shocks in heart failure patients with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of His‐Purkinje conduction

ICD Lead Dislodgement and Inappropriate ICD Shocks [PDF]

CJEM, 2015
Figure 1. (a) Chest radiograph showing the ICD generator (black star), ICD lead (arrowhead), and the two coils (arrows) for providing the electric shock. The superior vena cava coil (white arrows) is displaced into the left subclavian vein and the right ventricular lead (black arrows) is displaced into the right atrium, directed toward the region of ...

Inappropriate defibrillator shock due to EMI despite noise reversion and SecureSense - What is the mechanism?

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2022
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks are always a matter of anxiety and concern for both patient and clinician. We report a case of ischemic cardiomyopathy who reported to us after receiving two shocks within 48 hours.

SMART pass will prevent inappropriate operation of S‐ICD

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
Background Compared to screening ECG before implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (S‐ICD), selectable vectors without T‐wave oversensing increase after S‐ICD implantation. Newer algorithms have recently become available to
