Complications are always possible, such as pocket and system infections, lead dislodgement, suboptimal position, lead dislodgement, oversensing, inappropriate shock and premature battery depletion but the new alternative technique of s-ICD represents an important innovation in the field of device therapy [23,68,69]. We describe the case of a pocket infection of a S-ICD (Figs.…”
