Idiopathic central sleep apnea (ICSA) is a rare disorder diagnosed when known causes of central sleep apnea are excluded. No established treatments exist for ICSA, and long-term studies are lacking. We assessed the long-term effectiveness and safety of transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation in patients with ICSA.
