title: [Sudden cardiac death in the youth. Is the new subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator S-ICD an alternative solution?].
abstract: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is well-recognized therapy to prevent sudden cardiac death. Classic ICD need the use of permanent endocavitary leads, which may cause serious troubles (lead dislodgement, ventricular perforation, lead infections, etc.). The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a new device provided by only a subcutaneous lead. It has been developed for the last five years and it is becoming at present a real alternative to classic ICD. We report a clinical case of a 34 y.o. woman who presented a sudden cardiac death and who benefited the implantation of this new technology. This paper deals with the potential indications, usefulness benefits, and problems of the S-ICD.
