Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (S-ICD) (Boston Scientific Inc.,
Natick, MA, USA) does not require the 
insertion of any elements into the
cardiovascular system and is an effective
alternative to the transvenous ICD for patients
not requiring pacing.
