Comparison of Single-Coil Versus Dual-Coil Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Devices: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Extraction-Related Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are battery-operated devices used to manage irregular heart rhythms and deliver therapeutic shocks to the heart. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy and extraction-related outcomes of single-coil versus dual-coil ICDs in view of conflicting data.

Methods

Several databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, were comprehensively explored dating from inception to April 1, 2024. Data were compared using odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR), and mean differences (MD). A value of p < 0.05 indicated statistical significance.

Results

Ultimately, 28 studies were included in this quantitative synthesis. Defibrillation threshold (DFT) indicated statistical superiority
