Supports feasibility with pre-existing defibrillators; leaves open broader safety, efficacy, and generalizability.
Can a spinal cord stimulator be successfully implanted in a patient with refractory angina and a pre-existing cardioverter defibrillator?
Spinal cord stimulation can be successfully and safely implanted in patients with refractory angina who already have a cardioverter defibrillator.
Ferrero et al. (2007) studied this question. Spinal cord stimulation was successfully implanted to treat refractory angina in a patient with a pre-existing cardioverter defibrillator.
