摘要:
An assembly includes an introducing assembly having an elongate tubular sheath which has an external diameter. The sheath, which extends from a distal end to a proximal end, has a bore including an internal diameter sized to receive a dilator therethrough. The sheath includes a movable suture sleeve thereon. A method includes inserting an introducing assembly into a living body, and sliding a protector over a portion of the instrument and into a costoclavicular space.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for delivering anti-tachycardia pacing in an adaptive manner is disclosed. A cardiac rhythm management device, such as an implantable pacemaker, having anti-tachycardia pacing capability delivers anti-tachycardia pacing therapy in accordance with a selected pacing protocol upon detection of a terminable arrhythmia. The protocol is selected from a library of available protocols. A record of the successes and failures of each available protocol in converting tachyarrhythmias is maintained in a result table for use in selecting the protocol.

摘要:
An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator with antitachycardia pacing capability and method for operating same in which the detection zone boundary used to discriminate between tachycardia and fibrillation is adaptively adjusted based upon operating experience. Rate zones are provided for further classifying detected episodes of tachycardia and fibrillation according to the certainty of their being correctly identified based upon past operating experience. Adjustments of the rate zones and the fibrillation detection zone boundary are made based upon the results of antitachycardia pacing in attempting to terminate arrhythmic episodes.
