Abstract
The authors devised a nonthoracotomy defibrillation system for a patient wi th a prosthetic tricuspid valve using existing technology and previously es tablished implantation techniques. Their lead configuration deviates substa ntially from existing designs in its primary use of a coronary sinus defibr illation coil and a left-sided subcutaneous array to distribute current acr oss the ventricular myocardium.
