Phrenic nerve stimulation is a neurostimulation technique that allows patients who are dependent on external mechanical ventilatory support to regain their breathing autonomy. This study aim at long term following of patients who may be candidates for permanent implanted phrenic nerve stimulator.
During 10 years, the study will be conduct to obtain the quality of life evolution and medical complications in patients candidates but not implanted, and in patients candidates then implanted with the phrenic nerve stimulator.

RECRUITINGScore at the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-12) scale in patients with implanted phrenic nerve stimulator
Evolution of the physical (score between 9.95 and 70.02) and mental (score between 5.89 and 71.97) dimensions included into the SF-12 scale in patients with implanted phrenic nerve stimulator before, and up to 10 years after the implantation
Time frame: 10 years
Number of evolving episodes involving care, whether pathology events or intercurrent events
Follow-up of complications in implanted patients compared with the natural course of the disease (i.e. non-implanted patients)
Time frame: 10 years
