An epicardial electrode insertion is a surgical procedure where a doctor places small electrical leads directly onto the outer surface of the heart through an open surgical incision. This procedure may be needed when a patient requires a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and the standard approach through veins cannot be used, or when additional electrode placement is necessary. During the procedure, you can expect to be under general anesthesia while the surgeon makes an incision to access the heart and carefully position the electrodes before closing the incision.
