Robotic-Assisted Left Ventricular Epicardial Lead Placement in Patients With Prior Sternotomy
Robotic LV lead placement is feasible in patients with prior sternotomy. Despite significant comorbidities, lengths of stay and perioperative complications were acceptable. Patients with relative contraindication to epicardial LV lead placement, such as those with a prior sternotomy, may benefit from a robotic-assisted approach.
