Comments:

The Discussion stresses on the significance of the two cases described in this report by throwing light on the growing abundance of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, which has resulted in a spike in the incidence of cases of device infections, sometimes even fatal. It also suggests appropriate measures for talking them. In Conclusion, these cases demonstrate the benefits of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and also the treatment of high-risk patients with WCD as a bridge-to-procedure, allowing full recovery before a new implantation.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: This manuscript comprises the reports of two cases of implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation, complicated by severe infections. These cases demonstrate the benefits of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and also the treatment of high-risk patients with WCD as a bridge-to-procedure, allowing full recovery before a new implantation.

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - Suitable to be published
