Long‐term reliability of the defibrillator lead inserted by the extrathoracic subclavian puncture
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Arrhythmia"
DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12107
Abstract: As the transvenous defibrillator lead is fragile and its failure may cause a life‐threatening event, reliable insertion techniques are required. While the extrathoracic puncture has been introduced to avoid subclavian crush syndrome, the reports on… read more here.

Outcomes after transvenous defibrillator implantation in cardiac sarcoidosis: A systematic review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Arrhythmia"
DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12753
Abstract: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden death in the context of cardiac involvement. Guidelines advocate implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) implantation in specific subcohorts, but there is a paucity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00392-019-01447-5
Abstract: AimsIn the IN-TIME trial, automatic daily implant-based multiparameter telemonitoring significantly improved clinical outcomes in patients with chronic systolic heart failure and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D). We compared IN-TIME results for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10840-019-00550-x
Abstract: Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation involves left ventricular (LV) lead placement for biventricular pacing and is more complex than implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)-only implantation. Differences in the prescription of CRT-D versus ICD may… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICDs) and leadless pacemakers (LPs) are intended to diminish transvenous lead-related complications. However, S-ICDs do not deliver antibradycardia or antitachycardia pacing (ATP) and currently, there is no commercially available coordinated leadless option… read more here.
