“…If that is not the case, the reversed polarity should be tested, provided that the impedance is in the acceptable range. If the impedance is out of range and/or the shock was not successful, the position of the system should be re-checked and corrected, if possible [ 92 ]. Reference impedance values given in the device manual are between 25 and 110 Ohm, values below 25 or over 200 Ohm trigger patient’s alert.…”

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was developed to provide protection against sudden cardiac death. Despite being effective in terminating ventricular arrhythmias, traditional transvenous ICDs appeared over time to have certain limitations related to the need for vascular access and the presence of foreign material inside the circulatory system (namely lead failure and infections). A subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) was developed to overcome those limitations and to provide prevention against sudden cardiac death from outside the cardiovascular system. Utilization of that modern method of treatment is constantly increasing worldwide, and new centers incorporate implantation of that system in their portfolio. This review aims to present the most relevant issues related to S-ICD implantation procedure, based on experience of the authors and an extensive literature search.
