A subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is now being used as an alternative to a transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (TV-ICD). Because the location of the device in the body differs between S-ICD and TV-ICD, ICD-related complications need to be managed in a device-specific manner. Therefore, therapeutic strategies for infected wounds may differ between patients with S-ICD and those with TV-ICD.
