Why the study?

Is the Helifix electrode safe and effective for transvenous atrial implantation in patients requiring atrial pacing?

Structured PICO

Is the Helifix electrode safe and effective for transvenous atrial implantation in patients requiring atrial pacing?

Population

16 patients requiring temporary (n=3) or permanent (n=13) atrial pacing for indications including sinoatrial dysfunction, bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome, atrioventricular block, and restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Intervention

Transvenous atrial implantation of the Helifix electrode

Outcome

Feasibility, stability, and stimulation threshold of the Helifix electrodesafety

The Helifix electrode is a feasible and stable option for transvenous atrial pacing, demonstrating low stimulation thresholds with manageable complications.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May support Helifix use in select atrial pacing cases; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
