I have had mine since I was 15 years old due to cardiac arrest (born with congenital heart defect TGA & also have a pacer) & have had it replaced 2 times in the 11 years I have had it. The most time was last year when they had to replace everything…
I was born with TGA in 1983 with the mustard procedure (baffle created to redirect the blood flow) when I was 3 months. I had a pacer implanted when I was 15 & then 2 months later went into cardiac arrest & had a defibrillator implanted. I have had the defibrillator replaced 2x (last year everything wires & all were replaced) but dispite all this I had my beautiful 2 year old son Gaven in 2007.
