Supports noncatheter lead delivery in small children; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Is noncatheter-based delivery of a 4.1-F lumenless pacing lead feasible and safe in small children?
Noncatheter-based delivery of a 4.1-F lumenless pacing lead is feasible and safe in small children, avoiding the need for larger delivery systems.
Kenny et al. (2007) studied this question.
