1 Le complicanze nei portatori di ICD e CRT Attilio Del Rosso Key points: 1 ICD therapy has been shown to be effective in aborting sudden arrhtymic death and reducing mortality 2 Patients who do not benefit from device therapy are exposed to procedural and device complications 3 Needs in the future for greater reliability fo devices

2 Effect of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICDs) on all-cause mortality in randomized trials

17 Incidence of different causes of lead defects versus time after lead implantation (Kleeman 2007)

18 Annual rate of defibrillation lead defects versus time after lead implantation. (Kleeman 2007)

19 Complications in Patients with Single Chamber, Dual Chamber, and Biventricular CRT-ICDs (Alter 2005)

20 Uno shock appropriato non equivale ad uno shock necessario

21 Fattori che possono giustificare una elevata incidenza di shocks appropriati Programmazione Riconoscimento breve (12/16) Terapia attivata anche su tachicardie lente Effetto proaritmico del device

22 Factors Potentially Influencing Incidence of ICD Therapies Irritability from lead(s): suspect if events occur early after implantation Ventricular undersensing with resultant inappropriate pacing Increased fractionation of left ventricular electrograms possibly signifying effects on conduction in scar-related isthmus sites Double wave reentry: best described with acceleration of VT during anti-tachycardia pacing Right ventricular pacing: increased heart failure events may lead to more VT/VF episodes Biventricular pacing (possibly by abnormal wave fronts) may increase arrhythmias in selected patients, or decrease arrhythmias due to improved heart failure status Heterogeneity of repolarization/dispersion of refractoriness Physical damage to system

23 Clinical ventricular tachycardia Pacing at the ICD lead tip

24 Reducing cardioverter-defibrillator shock administration by Antitachycardia Pacing during Device Charging

25 Strategic Programming of Detection and Therapy Parameters in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators Reduces Shocks in Primary Prevention Patients (Wilkoff 2008)

26 Patients Experiencing Inappropriate ICD Shocks in MADIT II (2008)

27 Causes of inappropriate shocks Supraventricular tachycardia (sinus tachycardia & atrial fibrilation) Oversensing T-wave, P-wave Diaphragmatic/myopotential sensing Sensing Lead problem (fracture/insulation disruption/migration) Pacemaker interaction External electrical interference (EMI) The implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
