The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) was designed to avoid complications related to the transvenous ICD lead by using an entirely extrathoracic placement. Evidence comparing ...

A fully implantable, bioabsorbable pacemaker has been developed that's capable of sustaining heart rhythms in animal and human donor hearts before disappearing over 5 to 7 weeks. Temporary pacing ...

Patients who received a leadless pacemaker had similar rates of acute complications and survival at 30 days as those who received a transvenous VVI pacemaker, according to data presented at the ...

Patients who require a new permanent pacemaker after TAVI do just as well with leadless devices out to 2 years as they do with transvenous pacemakers, according to an analysis of real-world data from ...

BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study ...

In a typical population of patients requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy without pacing, mostly for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; ...

Traditional implanted pacemakers and defibrillators use thin wires called "leads" to send out electricity that keeps the heart beating properly, but these wires can also be associated with problems, ...

Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth. Just like ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we can engineer similar materials onto ...

One of the largest and longest follow-ups of patients implanted with the subcutaneous-lead implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD), now marketed as the EMBLEM S-ICD (Boston Scientific), paints ...
