Understanding ICD Surgery – Lifesaving Technology for Heart Health

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Introduction

An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a small device placed in the chest to help control dangerous heart rhythms. It constantly monitors the heart and delivers electrical shocks if a life-threatening rhythm is detected. This device is used to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in patients at high risk.

Precision Protection: Inside the ICD Implantation Procedure

The ICD implantation procedure begins with the patient under local anesthesia, and sometimes sedation. A small incision is made near the collarbone to create a pocket for the device. Thin, flexible wires called leads are inserted through a vein and guided into the heart using imaging tools like fluoroscopy. These leads connect the heart to the ICD device, which is placed in the chest pocket and programmed to detect and correct abnormal rhythms. The device uses low-energy pulses for pacing and high-energy shocks for dangerous arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation. The entire procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours and patients often go home the next day.

Why It’s Done?

• To prevent sudden cardiac arrest in patients with a history of life-threatening arrhythmias
• For people who have survived a previous cardiac arrest episode
• For those with weakened heart muscles or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
• In patients with genetic heart conditions that increase the risk of arrhythmias, such as Long QT Syndrome or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
