抄録

There are more than 20 years of experience with implantation of defibrillator devices in humans and the procedure is an important therapeutic option for patients at high risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. The incidence of new defibrillator implantation has gradually increased, being used even in children, ¹ although pediatric use is associated with several complications, especially with epicardial systems,² including fracture of the subcutaneous patch,^3-5 mainly because of growth.³ We present a case of subcutaneous patch electrode fracture in the left axillary pectoral region of a patient who needed the patch for effective defibrillation, and we discuss the methods of treatment.
