Does epicardial implantation of a lumenless active fixation lead improve pacing parameters in low birth weight newborns?
Epicardial implantation of a lumenless active fixation lead may provide superior pacing parameters in low birth weight neonates, though further evidence is required.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May offer pacing option in neonates; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
BACKGROUND: We present a case of epicardial pacemaker implantation in a low birth weight newborn using a lumenless active fixation lead. RESULTS: We found that superior pacing parameters can be obtained by implanting a lumenless active fixation lead into the epicardium, but more evidence is needed to support this hypothesis.
