Abstract
Objective: Appliance of Video-Assisted-Pericardioscopic-Surgery (VAPS) as a non-transthoracic/-pleural, subxiphoid approach for epicardial lead implantation has proven good acute results concerning feasibility, safety and latitude inside the pericardial cavity in an animal model. The ability of reoperation from the same approach as well as long-term in-vivo effects of VAPS-implanted pacemaker-leads with their on-site electrical and mechanical behaviour have not been assessed yet and are therefore the aim of this study.
