Life-Saving Cooperative Function of a Subcutaneous Cardioverter-Defibrillator and a Pacemaker in Dextrocardia With Heart Failure.

A 47-year-old man with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, dextrocardia, heart failure, and pacemaker-dependency presented with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. He underwent a right-sided transmuscular cardioverter-defibrillator insertion after appropriate testing. One year later, life-saving antiarrhythmic therapy was applied by the subcutaneous defibrillator while the appropriate pacemaker functioning supported heart rhythm.
