ABSTRACT
Abstract The transvenous implantable cardiac defibrillator (T-ICD) is currently considered the standard of care for prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with structural cardiac disease or channelopathies. However, the use of these devices is associated with a significant increase of short and long-term complications, mostly related to intravascular leads. The subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator (S-ICD) is a novel alternative for high-risk patients susceptible to intravascular lead complications, with a similar efficacy as T-ICD. Multiple ongoing clinical trials involving the S-ICD are expected to provide additional information about safety, use and benefits in the clinical setting.
RESUMEN
Resumen El desfibrilador cardiaco implantable transvenoso (DCI-T) se considera actualmente el tratamiento estándar para la prevención de la muerte súbita cardiaca en pacientes con enfermedad cardiaca estructural o canalopatías. Sin embargo, el uso de estos dispositivos se asocia con un aumento significativo de complicaciones a corto y largo plazo, principalmente relacionadas con derivaciones intravasculares. El desfibrilador cardiaco implantable subcutáneo (DCI-S) es una alternativa novedosa para pacientes de alto riesgo susceptibles a complicaciones intravasculares, con una eficacia similar al DCI-T. Se espera que varios ensayos clínicos en curso que involucran al DCI-S brinden información adicional sobre seguridad, uso y beneficios en el entorno clínico.
