Why the study?
Does single-lead VVIR endocardial pacing improve efficiency and safety compared to epicardial pacing in neonates and infants?
Does single-lead VVIR endocardial pacing improve efficiency and safety compared to epicardial pacing in neonates and infants?
Single-lead VVIR endocardial pacing appears more efficient and safer than epicardial pacing for neonates and infants, though larger studies with longer follow-up are needed.
May support endocardial over epicardial pacing in neonates/infants; hypothesis-generating, needs randomized confirmation before practice change.
Single-lead, VVIR ENDO pacing had higher efficiency and safety than EPI, and it might be the best choice for PM implantation in infants. However, because of small patient numbers and lack of longer FU, these findings should be treated with caution.
