Simplified peroperative placement of temporary right atrial pacing leads
WS Walker
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, Scotland, UK.
A simple technique for securing right atrial pacing leads is described. The
method relies on pressure fixation by haemostatic clips. Clinical
experience over a 2 year period has demonstrated that this system provides
safe, reliable and rapid lead attachment. No problems with lead removal
have been encountered.
