Background—Endovascularly implanted leads risk vascular injury and endocarditis, and can be difficult to locate in desired positions for LV pacing. We evaluated the acute and long-term stability, electric performance and histopathology of a percutaneously placed intrapericardial lead (IPL). Methods and Results—Twelve adult mongrel dogs underwent defibrillator implants incorporating IPLs. Successful uncomplicated percutaneous implantation of an IPL was achieved in all. Early fluoroscopic shift…

The anatomy of the epicardial space is discussed initially, because this provides a basis for a review of the relevant imaging aspects and the technique of accessing the space, initially developed for drainage of pericardial effusions by pericardiocentesis and subsequently modified for accessing a normal pericARDial space, is outlined.
