SubQ ICDs are disclosed that are entirely implantable subcutaneously with minimal surgical intrusion into the body of the patient and provide distributed cardioversion-defibrillation sense and stimulation electrodes for delivery of cardioversion-defibrillation shock and pacing therapies across the heart when necessary. Configurations include one hermetically sealed housing with 1 or, optionally, 2 subcutaneous sensing and cardioversion-defibrillation therapy delivery leads or alternatively, 2 hermetically sealed housings interconnected by a power/signal cable. The housings are generally dynamically configurable to adjust to varying rib structure and associated articulation of the thoracic cavity and muscles. Further the housings may optionally be flexibly adjusted for ease of implant and patient comfort.

La présente invention concerne des défibrillateurs automatiques totalement implantables sous la peau avec un minimum d'intrusion chirurgicale, équipés d'électrodes distribuées de détection et de stimulation adaptées à la production du choc de défibrillation et aux traitements de régulation cardiaque en cas de besoin. Cet appareil comprend, soit un carter hermétique prévu pour une, voire deux électrodes de détection et de défibrillation, soit deux carters hermétiques reliés par un câble alimentation et signal. Ces carters sont généralement configurables en fonction des besoins pour s'adapter aux différentes structures des côtes et des articulations correspondantes de la cavité thoracique, ainsi que des muscles. D'autres carters peuvent être ajustés par flexibilité pour faciliter l'implantation et améliorer le confort du patient.
