Successful Subcutaneous Defibrillator Implantation in a Pregnant Patient With Long QT Syndrome

A 26-year-old woman with recurrent unexplained syncope in the postpartum period was diagnosed with long QT syndrome type 2. Traditional implantation of defibrillator using fluoroscopy became contraindicated after she again became pregnant prior to device implantation. A subcutaneous defibrillator was successfully implanted in the second trimester, after a multidisciplinary evaluation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
