Abstract
As a concept, drainage of excess fluid volume in the cranium has been around for more than 1000 years. Starting with the original decompression-trepanation of Abulcasis to modern programmable shunt systems, to other nonshunt-based treatments such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization, we have come far as a field. However, there are still fundamental limitations that shunts have yet to overcome: namely posture-induced over- and underdrainage, the continual need for valve opening pressure especially in pediatric cases, and the failure to reinstall physiologic intracranial pressure dynamics. However, there are groups worldwide, in the clinic, in industry, and in academia, that are trying to ameliorate the current state of the technology within hydrocephalus treatment. This chapter aims to provide a historical overview of hydrocephalus, current challenges in shunt design, what members of the community have done and continue to do to address these challenges, and finally, a definition of the "perfect" shunt is provided and how the authors are working toward it.

Abstract
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is one of those devices that is a big boom for the prevention of sudden deaths due to heart failure. This particular device has been in use for just a couple of years, but its impact in the domain has brought about a considerable change in the way a specific issue of the cardiovascular system is tackled. Although subcutaneous or hypodermic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is considered to be a better alternative as far as transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD) is concerned, the former, being a newer introduction in the market, needs to be assessed in depth to clearly understand its effects and complications. Various types of research have been conducted on the efficacy of this device, and in most of the studies, the supremacy of this device is clearly evident when compared with other devices that are used for the same purpose. Better innovations in subcutaneous or hypodermic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators would enable them to be manufactured in a more efficient and cost-effective way so that a huge lot of people are benefited from this device. This review article is a whole peep into the various studies done in this domain, thereby providing adequate scientific insights about subcutaneous or hypodermic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in a very simple and comprehensive manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The development of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) combined with the typical patient comorbidities creates new challenges for anaesthesia. CLINICAL CASE A young male, ASA II, was proposed for S-ICD placement, after recovery from a sudden CRP episode. We performed regional anaesthesia with a serratus plane block (SPB) and transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) with administration of Mepivacaine and Ropivacaine. S-ICD placement was achieved under regional anaesthesia. In the perioperative period, the patient remained hemodynamically stable, without any complications or pain. DISCUSSION The implantation of the ICD occurs in fragile patients, with high anaesthetic risk. In this case, the association of SPB and TTPB was an effective anaesthetic/analgesic approach, has advantages when compared with other techniques and has potential use in other procedures.

Quality of life, depression, and anxiety in patients with a subcutaneous versus transvenous defibrillator system. PACING AND CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: PACE 2019; 42:1541-1551. [PMID: 31677279 DOI: 10.1111/pace.13828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) has increased because the device received US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2012, but we still know little about whether the quality of life (QoL) of patients with an S-ICD versus a transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) is comparable. We compared S-ICD patients with TV-ICD patients on QoL, depression, and anxiety up to 12 months' follow-up. METHODS A matched cohort of S-ICD (N = 167) and TV-ICD patients (N = 167) completed measures on QoL, depression, anxiety, and personality at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post implant. Data were analyzed using multivariable modeling with repeated measures. RESULTS In adjusted analyses, we found no statistically significant differences between cohorts on physical and mental QoL and depression (all Ps > .05), while S-ICD patients reported lower anxiety than TV-ICD patients (P = 0.0007). Both cohorts experienced improvements in physical and mental QoL and symptoms of depression and anxiety over time (all Ps < .001), primarily between implant and 3 months. These improvements were similar for both cohorts with respect to physical and mental QoL and anxiety (Ps > .05), while S-ICD patients experienced greater reductions in depressive symptoms (P = .0317). CONCLUSION The QoL and depression levels were similar in patients with an S-ICD and a TV-ICD up to 12 months' follow-up, while S-ICD patients reported lower anxiety levels and a greater reduction in depression over time as compared to TV-ICD patients. This knowledge may be important for patients and clinicians, if the indication for implantation allows both the S-ICD and the TV-ICD, making a choice possible.

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: Current trends in clinical practice between guidelines and technology progress. Eur J Intern Med 2019; 65:6-11.

Abstract
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a valuable alternative to the conventional trans-venous ICD (TV-ICD) for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Prospective registries showed that the S-ICD is safe and effective in treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias in high-risk patients without pacing indications. While in earlier studies patients implanted with S-ICDs were young and mostly affected by channelopathies, contemporary S-ICD cohorts include patients with severely impaired left ventricular function and significant comorbidities. This review focuses on S-ICD evidence-based use and highlights current gaps between guidelines recommendations and real-world clinical practice.
