Abstract
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) are
currently indicated for patients who meet ICD implantation criteria for
the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In December 2020, a unique
cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) situation arose as both the
S-ICD generator and electrode were under a device advisory. We would
recommend all future CIED implantation guidelines receive a caveat
regarding checking current CIED advisories, in order to avoid future
similar scenarios.
