Feasibility study for echocardiography ‐guided lead insertion for permanent cardiac implantable electronic devices
Conclusion: We demonstrate the feasibility of TTE-guided DCPM/DCICD implantation without use of fluoroscopy. We present this method as a safe alternative for permanent CIED placement that may reduce risk of radiation exposure and cost while maintaining safety and efficacy. No operators wore lead aprons during the procedure.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
