Percutaneous implantation under local anesthesia of implantable automatic defibrillator: one case report

We report the case of a 58 years old male affected by a severe relapsing ventricular tachycardia despite a well administered anti arythmic therapy. Etiology is an arythmogene right ventricular dysplasia. Considering the severity of this arythmia we proceed to percutaneous implantation of an automatically implantable defibrillator under local anesthesia. Evolution was favorable with a follow-up of 3 months
