Subcutaneous versus transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators in children and young adults: A meta‐analysis

Structured PICO

Does S-ICD reduce the risk of device-related complications and inappropriate shocks compared to TV-ICD in children and young adults?

Population

Children and young adults

Intervention

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICD)

Comparator

Transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (TV-ICD)

Outcome

Composite of device-related complications and inappropriate shockscomposite

S-ICD may offer a safer alternative to TV-ICD in children and young adults by reducing device-related complications and inappropriate shocks.

Abstract

Children and young adults undergoing S-ICD implantation may have a lower risk of a composite of device-related complications and inappropriate shocks, compared to TV-ICD patients.
