The subcutaneous ICD was noninferior to the transvenous ICD regarding device-related complications and inappropriate shocks in patients needing ICD therapy.
Does a subcutaneous ICD reduce device-related complications and inappropriate shocks compared to a transvenous ICD in patients with an indication for an ICD but no indication for pacing?
In patients requiring an ICD without a pacing indication, the subcutaneous ICD is noninferior to the transvenous ICD regarding the composite of device-related complications and inappropriate shocks.
