Minimally Invasive Implantation of a Micropacemaker Into the Pericardial Space [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
A novel micropacemaker system allows cardiac pacing without entering the vascular space or surgical exposure of the heart. This pericardial pacemaker system may be an option for a large number of patients currently requiring transvenous pacemakers but is particularly relevant for patients with restricted vascular access, young children, or those with congenital heart disease who require epicardial access.
