Introduction: the reference approach for treatment-resistant depression is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) but its maintenance difficulty is a therapeutic impasse. The place of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is unclear. It may be indicated in cases of ECT-dependence, but this co-prescription is not formalized and the links between VNS and ECT have been barely described. Action mechanisms and their effectiveness (non-incisive, cumulative, long-lasting VNS) seem to be complementary.Method: the data of the 6 patients implanted at the Mondor hospital (4 VNS + ECT, 2 VNS only) are reported from the records of (-)24 months before switching to the stimulator up to(+) 45 months maximum,(+) 11 months minimum. Results: The indication process appears i...
