Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Anteroposterior and lateral chest radiographs. A: The conductor coil of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (SICD) is subcutaneously tunneled from the anterior chest wall to the xiphoid process. B: The conductor is then subcutaneously tunneled to the left axilla, where the generator is placed. C: This patient did not achieve appropriate SICD sensing and defibrillation on initial device placement because the coil and generator did not vector across the majority of ventricular myocardium.
