“…at 3.8 days . Our overall complication rate was similar to those reported previously . Infection postprocedure was the commonest complication, accounting for 10% of the cohort, which is comparable to other reported infection rates, all occurring at short‐term follow‐up.…”

“…However, the minithoracotomy approach is less invasive and is used more commonly because of the lower incidence of mediastinitis or osteomyelitis . The reported success of surgically placed epicardial LV leads is variable, in terms of durability and complications, both in the short term and long term . Long‐term infection of devices has been quoted to be as high as 9.6% .…”

“…These results are consistent with current literature. In comparison Koos et al reported an increase in threshold in the first 6 months in both groups, whereas Mair et al and Buiten et al reported of a stable epicardial‐lead threshold over up to 30 months of follow‐up . Garikipati et al reported significantly higher thresholds in the epicardial leads as compared to transvenous LV leads .…”

“…Data on electrical performance, failure rates, and modes of failure of surgically implanted epicardial LV leads in patients with an indication for CRT are sparse. The largest report is a single‐center study with 216 leads of the same kind as presented in the current case report (Medtronic 4968 Capsure Epi). They demonstrated excellent pacing thresholds, sensing, and impedance during a mean follow‐up of 3 years.…”
