Abstract
Effectiveness of epicardial atrial pacing using a bipolar steroid-eluting endocardial lead with active fixation in an experimental model
Highlights
Background transvenous access for atrioventricular pacemaker implantation is considered the state of the art, clinical and technical situations that may impede transvenous leads implantation have become increasingly common, making it necessary the proposal of new surgical approaches
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of bipolar epicardial atrial pacing using an active fixation bipolar endocardial lead implanted on the atrial surface in an experimental model
The results of this study demonstrate that a bipolar active fixation endocardial lead implanted epicardially can provide stable conditions of pacing and sensing parameters throughout the postoperative follow-up
