Thoracoscopic epicardial left ventricular bipolar lead implantation with the use of automated titanium fasteners (Cor-Knot®)
Abstract Background Pacemaker implantation techniques using thoracoscopy have been described since about 25 years. However, the published reports concerning types of electrodes refer mostly to monopolar screw-in leads. We report our experience of thoracoscopic implantation of a bipolar suture-on epi...
