May offer alternative for poor transvenous candidates; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
Does a transatrial implantation technique allow safe placement of transvenous pacing leads in patients who are poor candidates for standard transvenous implants?
Transatrial implantation of transvenous leads is a feasible and less morbid alternative to epicardial leads for patients who cannot undergo standard transvenous pacemaker implantation.
BYRD et al. (1990) studied this question.
