What are the complications associated with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy in the pediatric population?
Inappropriate ICD therapy and lead failures are the most frequent complications of ICD therapy in pediatric patients, highlighting the need for improved technology and management strategies.
Maully J. Shah (2009) conducted a review in Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) complications. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was evaluated on ICD complications. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in the pediatric population are most frequently complicated by inappropriate ICD therapy and ICD lead failures.
