Abstract
ICDs prevent SCD in patients at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias, but conventional systems carry a risk of transvenous (TV) lead-related complications. The novel extravascular ICD (EV ICD) may reduce some of these complications, while offering ATP, pause prevention pacing, and a device of similar size and projected battery longevity as a TV ICD, by placing a lead substernally. The EV ICD Pivotal study demonstrated EV ICD safety and performance for termination of ventricular arrythmias at 6 months. Longer-term performance is unknown.
