Abstract
ABSTRACT
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a relatively rare inherited arrhythmic disease that causes sudden cardiac death, and is caused by mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) or sarcoplasmic reticulum protein calsequestrin 2 gene (CASQ2). A 16-year-old man was diagnosed with CPVT and was implanted with a Subcutaneous-implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (S-ICD), but defibrillation electrode detachment occurred early after placement. We suspected that a two-incision technique was the possible cause. We also report on changes in surface ECG in remote monitoring of the device.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Although two-incision techniques are becoming the mainstream method of S-ICD implantation, we should consider that the three-incision technique may be advantageous in highly active patients.
Remote monitoring may also be useful for early detection of S-ICD dislodgement.
