| Abstract | We describe an unusual case in which an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator failed to defibrillate the patient during testing at implant; rather, an adequate safety margin was achieved only after introduction of a shocking coil into the azygos vein. The azygos vein is an attractive extracardiac target for placement of a shocking coil, as it provides an ideal shock vector. Tools designed for placing epicardial leads via the coronary sinus branches can be adapted to conveniently place the azygos vein coil. |
