ICD implantation via thoracoscopy, “mailslot” thoracotomy, and subxiphoid incision

An improved method of thoracoscopic implantable cardioverter defibrillators implantation is described. “Mailslot” thoracotomy is more expeditious than thoracoscopic implantation via multiple ports. If required for adequate defibrillation thresholds, subxiphoid, subdiaphragmatic implantation of a def...

Zusammenfassung:	An improved method of thoracoscopic implantable cardioverter defibrillators implantation is described. “Mailslot” thoracotomy is more expeditious than thoracoscopic implantation via multiple ports. If required for adequate defibrillation thresholds, subxiphoid, subdiaphragmatic implantation of a defibrillator patch may be performed.
