Contemporary ICD devices offer reliable arrhythmia detection and discrimination algorithms and deliver highly efficient tachytherapies. Percutaneously inserted transvenous defibrillator coils with pectoral generator placement are the first-line approach in the majority of adults due to their extensively documented clinical benefit and efficiency with comparably low periprocedural implantation risks as well as the option of providing pain-free tachycardia treatment via anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP), concomitant bradycardiaprotection, and incorporation in a cardiac resynchronization therapy if indicated. Yet, expanding ICD indications particularly among younger and more complex patient groups as well as the increasingly evident long-term consequences and complications associated with intravascular lead placements promoted the development of alternative ICD configurations. Most established in daily clinical practice is the subcutaneous ICD but other innovative extravascular approaches like epicardial, pericardial, extra-pleural, and most recently substernal defibrillator coil placements have been introduced as well to overcome shortcomings associated with traditional devices and allow for individualized treatment strategies tailored to the patients characteristics and needs. The review aims to provide practical solutions for common complications encountered with transvenous ICD systems including restricted venous access, high defibrillation\/fibrillation thresholds (DFTs), and recurrent device infections. We summarize the contemporary options for non-traditional extravascular ICD configurations outlining indications, advantages, and disadvantages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euab178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,2]],"date-time":"2021-07-02T11:58:44Z","timestamp":1625227124000},"page":"181-192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Non-traditional implantable cardioverter-defibrillator configurations and insertion techniques: a review of contemporary options"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4689-8384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna B","family":"Tonko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, St. Thomas\u2019 Hospital, Westminster Bridge Rd, London SE1 7EH, UK"},{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Imaging, Arrhythmia Research Group, King\u2019s College London, School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher A","family":"Rinaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, St. Thomas\u2019 Hospital, Westminster Bridge Rd, London SE1 7EH, UK"},{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Imaging, Arrhythmia Research Group, King\u2019s College London, School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022020820552804500_euab178-B1","first-page":"515","article-title":"EHRA International consensus document on how to prevent, diagnose and treat cardiac implantable electronic device infections","volume":"22","author":"Lundqvist","year":"2020","journal-title":"Europace"},{"key":"2022020820552804500_euab178-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.17219\/acem\/42317","article-title":"Venous stenosis and occlusion in the presence of endocardial leads","volume":"25","author":"Boczar","year":"2016","journal-title":"Adv Clin Exp Med"},{"key":"2022020820552804500_euab178-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"605","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2009.02.024","article-title":"Increasing hazard of Sprint Fidelis implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead failure","volume":"6","author":"Hauser","year":"2009","journal-title":"Heart Rhythm"},{"key":"2022020820552804500_euab178-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e000198","DOI":"10.1136\/openhrt-2014-000198","article-title":"A systematic review of ICD complications in randomised controlled trials versus registries: is our \u2018real-world\u2019 data an underestimation?","volume":"2","author":"Ezzat","year":"2015","journal-title":"Open Heart"},{"key":"2022020820552804500_euab178-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"582","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCOUTCOMES.113.000299","article-title":"Cardiac perforation from implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead placement.
