Abstract

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (S‐ ICD ) is a safe alternative to transvenous ICD . We describe a submuscular S‐ ICD placement technique in a severely obese with an oversized chest. Submuscular configuration allows optimal system positioning and impendence values warranting a safe and effective shock transmission. This technique is safe and improves patients comfort.
