S-ICD implantation was safe and effective in young patients with low rates of inappropriate shock. However, the risk of device-related complications during follow-up remains substantial in patients with low BMI. To prevent possible complications, a two-incision technique should be preferred.

This new ablation protocol seems to be promising in reducing fluoroscopy exposure and number of catheters used during left-sided AP ablation in children.

Automatic algorithms based on device diagnostics may detect impending lead failure in nearly 50% of cases. Remote monitoring may prevent failure-related adverse events.
