How Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation (ICD) is performed
ICD implantation is performed under monitoring, and a lead can be inserted through a vein to connect to a subcutaneous generator, or a subcutaneous system (S-ICD) without intracardiac leads can be selected. Intraoperative assessment of sensing and defibrillation thresholds (if applicable) and individualized programming are completed. Postoperative monitoring of incision, lead position, and heart rhythm events aims to identify and terminate life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
