Abstract
Since February 1980, the automatic implantable ccirdioverter-defibrillator (AICD) has been implanted in over 12,000 patients. This report examines the surgical aspects of AICD implantation. The various surgical techniques, their indications, and our recent clinical experience in over 250 patients are reviewedKeywords
