Intraprocedural PRAETORIAN score for early assessment of S-ICD implantation: A proof-of-concept study.

An IP-PS can be reliably obtained using fluoroscopy guidance during S-ICD implantation, without a significant increase in procedural duration and may serve as guidance for implanting physicians, to avoid postprocedural S-ICD repositioning, leading to patient discomfort and significantly enhancing infective risks. IP-PS showed a very high agreement with the PP-PS obtained from two-views chest X-ray.
