Does S-ICD implantation provide efficacy and safety in European paediatric and young adult patients with congenital heart defects?
S-ICD is a safe and effective option for pediatric and young adult patients with congenital heart defects, with optimal outcomes seen in those with BMI > 20 and when using newer implantation techniques.
This multicentre European paediatric registry showed good S-ICD efficacy and safety in young patients. Newer implantation techniques and BMI > 20 showed better outcome.
Silvetti et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
