Single chamber extravascular implantable cardioverter
defibrillator for tachyarrhythmia
management.
The only extravascular ICD to offer ATP. In studies of transvenous ICDs, even with extended detection intervals, ATP was associated with a 50% reduction in potentially unnecessary shocks.1-3. In the EV-ICD trial, there was 70% ATP-terminated episode success rate through an average 10.6-month follow-up, avoiding 33 shocks.4
11.7 years projected longevity5 which is similar to other Medtronic single chamber ICDs. Greater longevity can reduce number of replacements and associated procedure risks.
A pacing feature that monitors the heart for significant pauses and responds by providing temporary bradycardia pacing supports.
Minimizes tissue pressure and promote patient comfort6.
• Primary safety objective met: 92.6% patients free from major system or procedure-related complications at 6 months*.
• Successful defibrillation: 98.7% defibrillation success rate at implant meeting primary efficacy objective, 18/18 (100%) conversion of spontaneous episodes†
• ATP efficacy: 70% ATP-terminated episode success rate†, avoiding 33 shocks in 7 patients.
• No major intraprocedural or unique complications due to the EV-ICD system
• No reports of mediastinitis, sepsis, or endocarditis related to the EV-ICD system
Kaplan-Meier estimate
through an average 10.6-month follow-up
The Aurora EV-ICD lead is not intended for implantation within the heart or vasculature, and, thus, Aurora is expected to avoid vascular complications associated with transvenous leads. There were no major intraprocedural complications observed in the EV ICD Pivotal Clinical study(4)
