Hypothesis-generating for transseptal defibrillation leads; leaves open translation to human energy thresholds and outcomes.
Does a transseptal electrode configuration improve defibrillation success compared to a conventional configuration in a canine model?
Transseptal defibrillation configuration reduces energy requirements by approximately 33% compared to conventional configuration in a canine model.
Singer et al. (1995) studied this question.
