Overview

Supports S-ICD consideration where pacing is unnecessary; leaves open randomized trials to confirm long-term outcomes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients at risk for sudden cardiac death who are not expected to require pacing due to bradycardia or antitachycardic pacing
I
Intervention
Entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD)
C
Comparator
Conventional transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
O
Outcome
Prevention of sudden cardiac death and reduction of electrode-related complications (lead failure and infections)

The S-ICD is a viable alternative to transvenous ICDs for preventing sudden cardiac death in patients who do not require pacing, offering reduced lead-related complications despite some device-specific limitations.
