Why the study?
Do nontraditional alternative surgical methods for ICD placement achieve similar safety and efficacy to conventional placement in adult patients with limited venous access or TV dysfunction?
Do nontraditional alternative surgical methods for ICD placement achieve similar safety and efficacy to conventional placement in adult patients with limited venous access or TV dysfunction?
Nontraditional surgical methods for ICD placement offer a feasible alternative with comparable short-term safety and defibrillation thresholds for patients with limited venous access or tricuspid valve dysfunction.
Alternative surgical ICD placement may be feasible in select patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Nontraditional alternative surgical methods for the placement of ICD systems in adult patients with limited venous access or TV dysfunction can achieve results similar to those of conventionally placed endovascular leads with limited complications and comparable DFTs in short-term follow-up.
