Overview

Feasible in swine without thoracotomy; hypothesis-generating for human left heart pacing and requires clinical trials.

Structured PICO

Does subxiphoid videopericardioscopy allow for feasible left heart epicardial pacing lead implantation without thoracotomy in a swine model?

P
Population
5 large swine
I
Intervention
Left heart pacing lead implantation using subxiphoid videopericardioscopy
O
Outcome
Feasibility of epicardial lead implantation without thoracotomy (capture thresholds, anatomically accurate fixation, avoidance of complications)

Subxiphoid videopericardioscopy is a feasible, minimally invasive approach for left heart epicardial pacing lead implantation in a preclinical model.
