Abstract:Transvenous implantable cardioverterdefibrillator(TV-ICD) system is an effective method for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, the implanted electrodes of TV-ICD results in a high incidence of perioperative and longterm complications. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverterdefibrillator(S-ICD) avoids the complications associated with transvenous leads profit by its entirely extracardiac implantation. It provides a new treatment option for patients with highrisk of SCD. The purpose of this article is to introduce the working principle of SICD, and describe the clinical application status and prospect.
