Supports zero-fluoroscopy VDD feasibility with comparable times; extends observational data but leaves open randomized safety confirmation.
Does electroanatomic navigation without fluoroscopy allow feasible and safe implantation of single-lead VDD pacemakers compared to standard fluoroscopic guidance in patients with atrioventricular block?
Electroanatomic navigation systems can safely and effectively guide single-lead VDD pacemaker implantation without the need for fluoroscopy, potentially eliminating radiation exposure.
