In this study, we report two cases with oversensing due to air accumulation in the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) device generator header. If trapped air in the header of the device is suspected, the re-connection procedure should be considered or the primary vector must be used, which might prevent oversensing.
