Uncomplicated Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Extraction After 4 Years Dwell Time: A Case Report. [PDF]
J Cardiovasc ElectrophysiolABSTRACT The extravascular implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (EV‐ICD) was developed to overcome complications associated with transvenous leads while being able to deliver anti‐tachycardia pacing (ATP). The lead is implanted in the substernal space, which makes extraction a cautious procedure.

Troponin May Lie: Recognizing an Atypical Case of Wellens Syndrome. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Wellens syndrome is associated with a critical coronary artery stenosis and an impending extensive myocardial infarction. Despite having chest pain, both ECG and troponin can be misleading. It is crucial to recognize this syndrome to allow urgent revascularization. Failure to recognize and noninvasive stress tests were shown to be detrimental.
