Streamlined Surgical Draping Reduces Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Implant Procedure Preparation Time.

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is a proven alternative to transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator systems. One critique of S-ICD use, however, has been the time required for implantation. Here, we discuss the use of an alternative surgical draping technique to reduce preparation time for device implantation.
