Key result
Stylet-driven active-fixation lead placement guided only by posterior-anterior fluoroscopy successfully achieved right ventricular septal positioning in 90% of patients.
Why the study?
Does a stylet-driven technique guided only by PA fluoroscopic view effectively achieve right ventricular septal lead placement in patients requiring pacing?
Observational (n=100)

Conventional active-fixation pacing leads can be successfully and safely deployed onto the RV septum using a purposely-shaped stylet guided only by PA fluoroscopy, achieving a 90% success rate.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support simplified RV septal pacing; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation of safety and outcomes.
Rosso et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Indication for single- or dual-chamber pacing (n=100). Stylet-driven active-fixation lead placement guided by posterior-anterior (PA) fluoroscopy was evaluated on Successful right ventricular septal lead positioning. Stylet-driven active-fixation lead placement guided only by posterior-anterior fluoroscopy successfully achieved right ventricular septal positioning in 90% of patients.
