Abstract

The automatic cardioverter defibrillator generator is a relatively large unit, which has most often been implanted in a subcutaneous pocket. In a consecutive series of 120 primary implantations, we employed a subrectus fascia pocket that has resulted in a cosmetically superior result with a 0.8% incidence of system infection. The technique of subfascial implantation is described.
