Supports feasibility of sutureless subxiphoid leads; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a sutureless myocardial lead inserted via a subxiphoid approach provide safe permanent cardiac pacing with low morbidity and lead failure rates?
Sutureless myocardial leads inserted via a subxiphoid approach for permanent pacing demonstrated no lead failures over a maximum follow-up of four years.
Feyter et al. (1980) studied this question.
