Pocket creation in the prepectoral subfascial position for the implantation of a cardiac implantable electrical device

Pockets created in the prepectoral subcutaneous space in electrophysiology laboratories for the implantation of a cardiac implantable electrical device (CIED) have several advantages; however, lean or small subjects are thought to cause pocket erosion. To minimize such traumatic pocket complications...
