Abstract:

There is controversy on whether patients with implantable pacemaker (PPM)/cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Previous views have suggested that extracorporeal shock waves may affect the normal function of implanted devices, posing a threat to the patient's life safety. With the development of technology and the continuous updating of device functions, multiple studies have confirmed that patients implanted with PPM/ICD can undergo ESWL under certain measures. This article will provide a detailed description of this.

Key words: Pacemakers, Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL)
