Implantation of a Permanent Tined Endocardial Electrode into Right Atrium during Open-heart Surgery: Report of 3 Cases
Given concerns regarding electrode fixation and risk of dislodgement, transvenous implantation of a tined endocardial electrode into the right atrium is considered difficult in patients who require permanent atrial pacing following cardiac surgery. Implantation of a tined endocardial electrode into...
