Key result
Wireless ICD shows no device-device interaction alongside a preexisting neurostimulator.
Why the study?
The safety and feasibility of using a wireless implantable cardioverter defibrillator in patients with a preexisting neurostimulator was not established.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
We report the case of a 54-year-old man with a previously implanted neurostimulator who presented with palpitations and was found to have sustained ventricular tachycardia on electrophysiologic study. A Medtronic wireless implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD; Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) with home monitoring (HM) was successfully implanted. Interaction testing during implantation, follow-up, and HM showed that there was no device-device interaction.

Katwal et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Sustained ventricular tachycardia with a preexisting neurostimulator (n=1). Wireless implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with home monitoring was evaluated on Device-device interaction during implantation, follow-up, and home monitoring. Implantation of a wireless implantable cardioverter defibrillator in a patient with a preexisting neurostimulator showed no device-device interaction during implantation, follow-up, and home monitoring.
