Abstract

The S-ICD demonstrated high efficacy for VT/VF. Complications and inappropriate shock rates were reduced consistently with strategic programming and as operator experience increased. These data provide further evidence for the safety and efficacy of the S-ICD. (Boston Scientific Post Market S-ICD Registry [EFFORTLESS]; NCT01085435; S-ICD® System IDE Clinical Study; NCT01064076).
