With the already established robust safety and efficacy clinical data, the EMBLEM S-ICD System is designed to enhance patient comfort, while still providing a less invasive treatment for patients at risk of cardiac arrest," said Kenneth Stein, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Rhythm Management, Boston Scientific.
