Removalof subcutaneous defibrillator shocking coils: Lessons to learn for future extraction of subcutaneous defibrillator systems

摘要

BackgroundSubcutaneous shocking coils (SQC) have been used to lower defibrillation thresholds in certain patient populations. There are limited data regarding the extraction complexity of these leads. The goal of this study is to describe our SQC extraction experience and identify challenges that may be of importance with the increase in utilization and extraction of fully subcutaneous defibrillator systems.
