This thesis reviews the effectiveness and utility of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators compared to traditional transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in preventing sudden cardiac death in both primary and secondary prevention. The review includes literature review and a detailed clinical case to illustrate real-world utility of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The findings indicate that while subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have advantages in specific clinical scenarios, transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have preferance in cases involving complex cardiac conditions. Efficacy of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators was also investigated, with data suggesting similar outcomes compared to those of transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in arrhythmia management. A clinical case illustrated the practical utility and effectiveness of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in a pediatric patient with lead failure with transvenous system. This research highlights the importance of carefully considered treatment approach in cardiac care and points towards further investigation into patient-specific outcomes with subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator installations. |
