Why the study?
Is acute fetal cardiac pacing feasible using a new ultrasound-guided epicardial pacing lead in a fetal sheep model?
Is acute fetal cardiac pacing feasible using a new ultrasound-guided epicardial pacing lead in a fetal sheep model?
Transcutaneous echo-guided acute fetal pacing is feasible in an animal model using a specially designed epicardial lead, representing a step toward treating human fetal arrhythmias.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Feasibility in fetal sheep supports further device development; leaves open human translation pending additional studies.
Boudjemline et al. (2009) studied this question.
