Journal ArticleDOI
Subfascial implantation of implantable cardioverter defibrillator generator.
TL;DR: In a consecutive series of 120 primary implantations, a subrectus fascia pocket is employed that has resulted in a cosmetically superior result with a 0.8% incidence of system infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular tachycardia in plasma cell dyscrasia syndrome.
TL;DR: A patient with POEMS syndrome who had highgrade ventricular tachyarrhythmias and underwent extensive electrophysiologic testing is reported, report a 35-year-old white man who was unable to stand and had preserved strength in the upper extremities and bulbar muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined use of non-thoracotomy cardioverter defibrillators and endocardial pacemakers.
TL;DR: When careful testing is performed at implantation to detect and remedy device interactions, non-thoracotomy ICD treatment and endocardial pacemakers can be used safely in combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemothorax associated with anticoagulation after placement of implantable cardioverter defibrillator: possible similarity to postinfarction Dressler's syndrome.
TL;DR: The possible relationship of (his complication to polyserositis after ICD implantation) and the possible adverse sequelae of early anticoagulation after I CD implantation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical experience in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
TL;DR: Several issues regarding use of the ICD must be considered, but the device seems to be useful, and it is associated with an acceptable rate of complications and good long-term success at the present time.
