Long term complications in patients implanted with subcutaneous implantable defibrillators Real-world data from the Extended ELISIR experience
Heart Rhythm
Recently, the Food and Drug administration issued a recall for the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) due to the possibility of lead ruptures and accelerated battery depletion. Aim of this study is to evaluate device-related complications over time in a real-world multicentered large S-ICD cohort.
