    Author: Kraaier K, Verhorst PM, Scholten MF.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2009 May; 32(5):675-6. PubMed ID: 19422593.
    Abstract:
    The implantable cardioverter defibrillator is effective in reducing sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients. The implantation procedure is usually simple; however, in those patients who have congenital heart disease (CHD) placement of leads can be a challenge. In this report we present a patient with CHD where due to the complex cardiac anatomy it was decided to place the shock lead in the left ventricle.
