Does spinal cord stimulation safely improve pain and quality of life in patients with refractory angina and an implanted cardioverter defibrillator?
Spinal cord stimulation can be safely performed for refractory angina in patients with ICDs, provided individual testing is done during implantation to prevent device interference.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support SCS for refractory angina in ICD patients after individual testing; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
Enggaard et al. (2010) studied this question.
