Low complication rates with pectoral downsized ICDs support real-world safety; leaves open randomized trials on lead anchoring to minimize dislodgment.
Pectoral implantation of downsized ICDs is associated with a low overall complication rate, though early lead dislodgment requires careful anchoring and monitoring.
GOLD et al. (1997) studied this question.
