Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This report describes the implantation of a transcutaneous ICD system using a small patch electrode in the subscapular position, and an active-can device in a 5.3-kg infant. The indication for ICD implantation was recurrent cardiac arrest in the presence of normal coronary anatomy. Metabolic evaluation suggested a defect in fatty acid oxidation.
