Abstract
The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in the management of malignant ventricular arrhythmia is well established. Radiation treatment is common in malignant neoplasms, but the direct effect of irradiation in ICD is largely not well understood. We describe a case where radiation treatment probably led to shock coil failure.Entities:
