Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

A technique for pacemaker implantation using the inframammary approach for augmentation mammaplasty is described. This technique avoids alteration of body contour and produces a highly acceptable scar. Its use is described in a 16-year-old patient who has been followed for 3 years.
