ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for subcutaneous positioning between the third rib and twelfth rib within a patient includes a duck-bill shaped housing. The housing includes a proximal end and distal end, where the width of the proximal end is less than the width of the distal end, and an electrode located on the housing.
