Percutaneous technic for cardiac pacing with a platinum-tipped electrode catheter

We have reported a rapid and simple percutaneous technic for initiating intracardiac pacing at the bedside utilizing a small platinum-tipped wire electrode catheter. The method is valuable and potentially life-saving, both pro-phylactically and therapeutically, in the management of Stokes-Adams dise...

Zusammenfassung:We have reported a rapid and simple percutaneous technic for initiating intracardiac pacing at the bedside utilizing a small platinum-tipped wire electrode catheter. The method is valuable and potentially life-saving, both pro-phylactically and therapeutically, in the management of Stokes-Adams disease, complete heart block and asystole, particularly when drugs prove ineffective.
