I can not speak for this individual, but it is pretty much universal that folks with cardiac implants of any kind that I know of (combo, defibrillator, stimulators, monitors) are not to go through the WTMD - reportedly due to the advisement of the Dr and the manufacturer. TSA reinforces (at their site) that any individual with any internal implant has the option to use the AIT system in place of the WTMD, or they can choose to have a pat down. It also indicates for the passenger to consult with their Physician prior to flying. They also provide the info where the passenger can use the passenger support process, in order to arrange ahead of time if they choose.
