This manufacturer-independent analysis highlights a notable incidence of PBD in patients equipped with S-ICD models under advisory and the rate of PBD in this study corresponds to the rate currently estimated by the manufacturer. To the best of our knowledge this provides the largest contemporary peer-reviewed study cohort investigating the actual incidence of PBD in S-ICD patients. These findings emphasize the importance of post-market registries in collaboration between clinicians and the manufacturer to optimize safety and efficacy in S-ICD treatment.
