摘要
This report describes the case of an 8-year-old boy with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who underwent ICD implantation for recurrent syncope. To avoid vascular complications and to minimize the surgical approach in this small child, a nonthoracotomy ICD system was chosen using a single subcutaneous array lead with only one finger, an abdominally placed active can, and epicardial dual chamber pacing and sensing electrodes. During an 8-month follow-up, DFT was confirmed and there were no ventricular tachycardia or complications. It appears to be a safe device for the prevention of sudden cardiac death in infants and small children.
