Abstract
An 8-year-old boy with hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy with ventricular fibrillation underwent implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. The lead was inserted through a pursestring suture in the right atrial appendage, and the tip of coil was placed in the right ventricular apex under fluoroscopic guidance. Another defibrillation coil was placed in the back of the left atrium and left ventricle by the transverse sinus. The device wrapped in a monofilament mesh sheet was placed in the intraperitoneal space. This case utilized a new technique for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation in a small child.
