Long-term outcomes of intermuscular versus subcutaneous S-ICD implantation: extended follow-up of a propensity-matched multicentre analysis
Abstract
Graphical Abstract: Graphical AbstractGraphical summary comparing intermuscular and subcutaneous S-ICD generator placement. Device-related complications were lower with intermuscular placement at 1 year (1.0% vs 4.6%) and at 8 years (4.9% vs 11.7%), supporting an improved long-term safety profile with the intermuscular technique.
