Simultaneous leadless pacemaker and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation-When vascular options have run out

Abstract

An end-stage renal failure patient who was planned for a left brachioaxillary arteriovenous graft required an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for secondary prevention of ventricular tachycardia and a pacemaker for complete heart block but was found to have a right subclavian venous occlusion. Due to the lack of vascular access, we performed a successful subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) and leadless pacemaker implantation. There was no interaction between the devices at the time of implantation, during defibrillation testing and following an appropriate defibrillation therapy.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
