Leadless pacemakers have been safely utilized in children, even those under 30 kg with
acute and medium-term success. Left bundle area pacing may provide a reduction in pacing …

Background—In 2010, the National Cardiovascular Data Registry enhanced pediatric,
nonatherosclerotic structural heart disease and congenital heart disease (CHD) data …

Background Pacemaker implantation in infants and small children is limited to epicardial
lead placement via open chest surgery. We propose a minimally invasive solution using a …

Background Pericardial access is necessary for the application of epicardial cardiac
therapies including ablation catheters, pacing and defibrillation leads, and left atrial …

Small animal models are most commonly used in cardiovascular research due to the
availability of genetically modified species and lower cost compared to larger animals. Yet …

Purpose To describe chronic performance of subxiphoid minimally invasive pacemaker lead
insertion in a piglet model. Methods Minimally invasive pacemaker lead implantation was …

Background: Permanent cardiac pacemakers require invasive procedures with
complications often related to long pacemaker leads. We are developing a percutaneous …

Introduction Our group has demonstrated the feasibility of percutaneous pericardial ICD lead
placement in a piglet model utilizing direct visualization from a lateral thoracoscopic …
