Feasible in swine without thoracotomy; hypothesis-generating for human left heart pacing and requires clinical trials.
Does subxiphoid videopericardioscopy allow for feasible left heart epicardial pacing lead implantation without thoracotomy in a swine model?
Subxiphoid videopericardioscopy is a feasible, minimally invasive approach for left heart epicardial pacing lead implantation in a preclinical model.
Zenati et al. (2003) studied this question.
