Acute and chronic performance evaluation of a novel epicardial pacing lead placed by percutaneous subxiphoid approach in a canine model.
Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol
June 2015
From the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA (R.M.J.); St. Jude Medical, Inc, Sylmar, CA (K.M., M.E.B.); Charles River Laboratories, Frederick, MD (L.H.B.); and Haut-Lévêque Hospital, Pessac, Bordeaux, France (P.J.).
Background: Endovascularly implanted leads risk vascular injury and endocarditis, and can be difficult to locate in desired positions for LV pacing. We evaluated the acute and long-term stability, electric performance and histopathology of a percutaneously placed intrapericardial lead (IPL).
Methods And Results: Twelve adult mongrel dogs underwent defibrillator implants incorporating IPLs.

Background: The efficacy and safety of rigid pericardial endoscopy as the promising minimally invasive approach to the pericardial space was evaluated. Techniques for cell transplantation, epicardial pacemaker lead implantation, and epicardial ablation were developed.
Methods: Two swine and 5 canines were studied to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rigid pericardial endoscopy.

A 2-kilogram child had a pacemaker implanted by a subxyphoid approach with the generator located under the rectus sheath. Days later, the battery eroded the abdominal wall and the peritoneum. The whole system was removed and a new one was implanted inside the pericardium on an emergent basis.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can be a crucial therapeutic modality for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome and cardiomyopathy. Because transvenous implantation of ICD is mostly unfeasible for pediatric patients due to anatomical and technical limitations, epicardial patch type or subcutaneous type ICD have been used. Implantation of these alternative ICDs, however, was reported to be frequently associated with significant complications.
