Conditions

Ventricular Fibrillation, Ventricular Tachycardia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the implant of a ICD lead of defibrillation in the septum of the right ventricle

Detailed description

The rate of success at implant and the positive clinical outcomes for the patients implanted with a lead of defibrillation at the septal site would make it possible to recommend this site as a new standard for implant of the defibrillation lead in the RV for ICD.

Interventions

DEVICEEndotak Reliance G

Reliance G is a defibrillation lead to be placed in the right ventricle.
