Abstract
TV-ICDs are associated with increased device-related complication rates compared to a propensity matched S-ICD group during a similar follow-up period. Despite the existing significant difference in unit cost of the S-ICD, overall S-ICD costs may be mitigated versus TV-ICDs over a longer follow-up period.
