The present disclosure provides systems and methods for applying anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) using subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (SICDs). An SICD implantable in a subject includes a case including a controller, and at least one conductive lead extending from the case. The at least one conductive lead includes a plurality of coil electrodes, wherein the SICD is configured, via the controller, to apply anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) to the subject using the at least one conductive lead.

Systems and methods for applying anti-tachycardia pacing using subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators

Methods and devices include making an incision at a single site of a patient. The single site located at an anterior of a chest or abdomen. The method also includes inserting a tunneling tool through the incision at the single site and preparing a first tunnel to a subcutaneous posterior location. A path of the first tunnel at least one of i) extends over a plurality of Intercostal gaps of the chest or ii) extends along and within one of the intercostal gaps. The method also includes positioning a first lead having an electrode within the first tunnel and preparing a second tunnel to a subcutaneous parasternal location along the chest. The method also includes positioning a second lead having an electrode within the second tunnel and positioning a pulse generator within a subcutaneous pocket and operatively coupling the first and second leads to the pulse generator.
