Left-Sided Humerus Fracture as an Unusual Complication of Defibrillation Threshold Testing Following S-ICD Implantation

Left-Sided Humerus Fracture as an Unusual Complication of Defibrillation Threshold Testing Following S-ICD Implantation

Comminuted subcapital humerus fracture as a complication of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator insertion is related to an abducted and externally rotated arm position during the defibrillation threshold test at which the current pathway is through the pectoral muscle. It is advisabl...
