English: Video: rigid pericardial endoscopy. A rigid pericardial endoscope was inserted from the epicardial fossa to the pericardial space. Atrial appendages, coronary sinus and pulmonary veins were clearly identified. As the demonstration of cell transplantation, silicon beads, indocyanide green, ultrasonographic and fluoroscopic contrast medium were injected 20 times. Transient ventricular tachycardia did not deteriorate hemodynamic conditions. The use of an ultrasonography-attached needle was successful in avoiding intraventricular injection. For pacemaker implantation, the left ventricular free wall was clearly visualized in the left recombinant position. The intraventricular pacemaker lead was successfully implanted, and the epicardial sutureless lead and the suture trial were attempted. For epicardial ablation, the left pulmonary vein was identified and clamped by rigid forceps for the minimally invasive Maze procedure.
