After thorough consultation and discussion among the physicians and physics team, the decision was made to treat the patient with AICD in place (Figures 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)). AICD interrogations were obtained once before treatment, at least weekly during treatment, and once after treatment and the patient continues to be monitored by his cardiologist.
