Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: long-term results of the EFFORTLESS study

Pier D. Lambiase et al.

Summary: This study reports the 5-year outcomes of EFFORTLESS registry patients with early generation subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) devices. The study found that the spontaneous shock efficacy remained consistently high over the 5-year period and very few patients required replacement with a transvenous device. Additionally, early arrhythmic episodes did not predict later complications.

Patient acceptance of subcutaneous versus transvenous defibrillator systems: A multi-center experience

Alessandro Vicentini et al.

Summary: The study evaluated patient acceptance of the S-ICD and found varying levels of acceptance among different demographics, with younger patients and those who experienced device complications or therapies showing better acceptance. Despite these differences, overall patient acceptance of the S-ICD was positive, with S-ICD showing better positive appraisal compared to transvenous ICD in patients with HFrEF.

Primary Results From the Understanding Outcomes With the S-ICD in Primary Prevention Patients With Low Ejection Fraction (UNTOUCHED) Trial

Michael R. Gold et al.

Summary: The UNTOUCHED trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of contemporary S-ICD devices in a more typical, contemporary ICD patient population, demonstrating high freedom from IAS and shock rates. The study found a 18-month freedom from IAS of 95.9% and all-cause shock-free rate meeting the prespecified performance goal.

Outcomes of two versus three incision techniques: Results from the subcutaneous ICD post-approval study

Mikhael El-Chami et al.

Summary: This study compared the long-term safety and efficacy of the two-incision technique (2IT) with the three-incision technique (3IT) in a large patient cohort implanted with the S-ICD. The results showed that 2IT was as safe and effective as 3IT, with a significant reduction in procedure time.

Subcutaneous versus transvenous implantable defibrillator: An updated meta-analysis

Roberto Rordorf et al.

Summary: Comparison between S-ICD and TV-ICD in terms of clinically relevant device-related complications and inappropriate shocks found that the two are overall comparable. Patients with S-ICD had lower risk of lead complications and major procedural complications compared to those with TV-ICD, but higher risk of pocket complications.
