Open table in a new tab The use of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been the standard of care in the management of patients who have experienced sudden cardiac death and also for those patients at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.1Epstein A.E.

Accessed August 29, 2016.Google Scholar The S-ICD has been effective in the management of at-risk patients; however, its use in surgical patients has been limited. Temporary pacing and sternal wires have interfered with normal S-ICD device function; hence, careful placement of the subcutaneous lead in candidates for cardiac surgery requiring a median sternotomy is of utmost importance.6Winter J.

Valsecchi S. Rigano M. Maselli D. Perioperative management of a patient with subcutaneous defibrillator undergoing cardiac surgery.Springerplus. 2015; 4: 533Crossref PubMed Scopus (1) Google Scholar We present the first reported case of a patient with an existing S-ICD system who underwent a median sternotomy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in which removal and repositioning of the S-ICD lead was performed. In February 2016, a 34-year-old man with a history of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy for many years and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% was referred to the electrophysiology service for ICD implantation. He had a history of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and unexplained syncope. His electrocardiogram revealed normal sinus rhythm without conduction abnormalities and a narrow QRS duration. He was considered to have NYHA functional class II heart failure symptoms on optimum medical therapy. He underwent successful S-ICD placement and his postprocedure course was uneventful. A chest radiograph revealed normal S-ICD lead and generator positions and the electrogram recording from the S-ICD lead demonstrated normal sensing function (Figure 1). Ventricular fibrillation was induced at implantation utilizing 50 Hz stimulation from the device and defibrillation was successful with a 65 J shock. No evidence of oversensing or undersensing was evident. Approximately 2 months following S-ICD implantation, he presented to the emergency room at our institution with acute substernal chest discomfort and shortness of breath with new reversible anterior wall ischemia on pharmacologic stress testing, despite the absence of a previous history of chest pain, and despite prior negative stress test for myocardial ischemia a few years earlier. Coronary angiography revealed evidence of severe triple vessel coronary artery disease and bypass surgery was recommended. The patient underwent planned coronary artery bypass grafting with specific provision for handling of the S-ICD lead that was lying in the field of a standard median sternotomy incision. S-ICD lead positioning was undertaken to assure that the distal or proximal sensing electrode was not in contact with any sternal wires (Figure 2). There is to date no clear guideline for managing a patient with an existing S-ICD lead during median sternotomy, and so we aim to demonstrate our effective treatment of this clinical scenario. In anticipation that thoracic surgery in patients with an existing S-ICD is likely to become more frequent, given the increasing number of implanted S-ICDs, we believe that it is essential to address an approach to prevent potential complications related to sternal wires, as well as other technical and electrophysiological considerations. In the cardiothoracic surgery operating room, the patient was prepped and draped in the standard way for CABG surgery. Following a small paraxiphoid incision over the preexisting incision, the anchoring sleeve of the sternal lead was located, the suture sleeve was exposed but not freed from its anchoring sutures, and the lead was pulled back through this small incision to be kept outside of the body between antibiotic-infused packing mesh. The lead was kept protected in this manner while a standard sternotomy proceeded and bypass surgery was performed without complication. Following successful bypass grafting and standard closure of the sternum with sternal wires, the subcutaneous defibrillator lead was reirrigated with antibiotic-infused saline and replaced on top of the fascial plain overlying the sternum, consistent with the original lead position. The lead was nested into a central position (Figure 3) above which the subcutaneous and skin layers were closed in the standard fashion. Care was taken to avoid any contact between the electrode and sternal wires to avoid oversensing.6Winter J. Kohlmeier A. Shin D.I. O׳Connor S. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and sternal wires: a cautionary tale.Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol. 2014; 7: 986-987Crossref PubMed Scopus (10) Google Scholar Pre– and post–vector analysis of the QRS and T-wave amplitudes was measured from the S-ICD lead and the results met acceptable criteria along all measured vectors for effective QRS and T-wave discrimination (Figure 1, Figure 2). During postoperative in-hospital follow-up this effective QRS and T-wave complex discrimination remained consistent with the preoperative measurements. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged from the hospital after 7 days, in good condition. He returned to the electrophysiology clinic after 1 week for an incision check, and routinely 2 months later. All the incision sites were well healed and the S-ICD was functioning normally, with adequate QRS and T-wave discrimination. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed description of the perioperative management of a patient with an existing S-ICD lead who underwent CABG surgery via median sternotomy in which explantation and reimplantation of the same lead was performed. Additional considerations to address involve the assessment of QRS voltage in the immediate postoperative period, as it has been reported that the QRS amplitude is often diminished following open chest surgical procedures and this may interfere with QRS and T-wave discrimination, an essential parameter that allows accurate arrhythmia detection and minimizes the risk of oversensing the T wave and inappropriate shocks.6Winter J.

The S-ICD has been effective and safe in patients at risk for sudden cardiac death who do not require antitachycardia pacing, bradycardia support, or cardiac resynchronization therapy.4Bardy G.H.

Accordingly, the extravascular nature of the S-ICD lead is expected to reduce the potential for life-threatening infectious sequelae in these patients. S-ICDs can sense the QRS complex in 3 vectors, using 2 elements on the electrode—the distal tip and proximal ring —as well as the pulse generator.10Cappato R. Smith W.M. Hood M.A. Crozier I.G. Jordaens L. Spitzer S.G. Ardashev A.V. Boersma L. Lupo P. Grace A.A. Bardy G.H. Subcutaneous chronic implantable defibrillation systems in humans.J Interv Card Electrophysiol. 2012; 34: 325-332Crossref PubMed Scopus (18) Google Scholar It has been demonstrated in this case that there was no significant change in the sensed QRS vector amplitude and QRS/T-wave amplitude ratio after the median sternotomy and reimplantation of the S-ICD lead. For this device to be successfully implanted it must meet criteria for effective QRS/T-wave discrimination. In this demonstrated case of lead removal and replacement, the pre- and poststernotomy QRS/T-wave amplitude ratio was adequate in all measured vectors. Even in the immediate postoperative period when there was the highest expectation for postsurgical thoracic impedance changes related to pericardial and pleural effusions and inflammation that could cause altered QRS/T-wave sensing and signal differentiation, the values remained stable and optimal for sensing. The presence of suboptimal QRS/T-wave amplitude discrimination owing to either a small QRS complex or the postoperative state itself may result in oversensing or undersensing. Consequently, spurious shocks or failure to recognize tachyarrhythmias in need of therapy may occur. We suggest that QRS amplitude surveillance should be performed intraoperatively via the S-ICD programmer and sternotomy closure initiated as described once the S-ICD lead is secured and adequate sensing confirmed. This will eliminate the need to program tachycardia detection off during the immediate in-hospital postoperative period. If sensing function is found to be suboptimal in the postoperative period, S-ICD tachycardia detection may be programmed off, the patient monitored in a setting where an external defibrillator is available, and repeat evaluation performed before discharge. Persistence of sensing abnormalities may be managed by prescribing the use of a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator and device testing may be repeated once postoperative healing is complete in 6 weeks or so.15Chung M.K.

Aggregate national experience with the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator: event rates, compliance and survival.J Am Coll Cardiol. 2010; 56: 194-203Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (235) Google Scholar This case report demonstrates that an S-ICD lead can be safely removed and then successfully replaced provided that careful precautions are undertaken regarding the sternal lead field. The surgical technique implemented was successful in this case and serves as a basis for defining a methodological approach to facilitate successful management of patients with an S-ICD requiring a median sternotomy or thoracic surgery that involves the sternal lead location. S-ICDs are being implanted far more frequently now and this trend will continue, especially with the future potential for leadless right ventricular pacing developments. It is therefore likely that there will need to be established guidelines and recommendations for effective handling of the device and lead during and after thoracic surgery, to allow for continued reliable arrhythmia identification and successful defibrillation therapy, when appropriate." @default.
