Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 06/26/09
Bar-Cohen Y et al. - The authors describe the case of a young patient with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and marginal defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) at implant of a standard transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) system. The patient subsequently experienced multiple failed ICD shocks during a prolonged episode of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. Placement of a second single-coil shocking lead in the azygous vein resulted in acceptable DFTs, but the new lead migrated superiorly within hours of the procedure.
