Automatic Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Structural Characteristics

Il existe différentes options d'appareillage et de techniques chirurgicales pour l'implantation du défibrillateur automatique. Le système peut mime être utilisé mialgré difficultés posées par la présence d'aulres appareils implantés ou par la morphologie du patient. La sensibilité ainsi que l'énergie délivrée peuvent être ajustées selon les besoins des patients. La survie de la pile est suivie de façon non‐invasive, ce qui permet Ie remplacement non‐urgent de l'appareil.
