Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are designed to help treat patients with tachyarrhythmias.

The Aurora EV-ICD™ system is intended for people who have had a heart attack, experienced heart failure, or been diagnosed with a fast heartbeat (tachycardia). It is called an "extravascular" system because its lead is placed outside of the heart and veins, and the defibrillator is implanted below the left armpit.

Evera™ ICD introduced the PhysioCurve ™ design, which provides a 30% reduction* in skin pressure from previous devices and is designed for greater patient comfort. 1. It lasts longer. Up to 25% greater longevity than Protecta™ ICD, †2 so patients spend less time getting device replacements and more time living. It’s smart.

A defibrillator continuously monitors the heart and automatically corrects heart rhythms. Leads are thin, soft, insulated wires about the size of a spaghetti noodle. They carry the electrical impulse from the ICD to your heart and send information about the heart’s natural activity back to the ICD.

Aug 15, 2023 · An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered device placed in the chest. It detects and stops irregular heartbeats, also called arrhythmias. An ICD continuously checks the heartbeat. It delivers electric shocks, when needed, to …

The Aurora EV-ICD™ system is a first-of-its-kind extravascular defibrillator to treat sudden cardiac arrest and abnormal heart rhythms with defibrillation and antitachycardia pacing (ATP) in a single device.

Oct 24, 2023 · Medtronic has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new first-of-its-kind extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and defibrillation lead that allows cardiologists to treat abnormal heart rhythms from outside of …
