Do permanently implanted transvenous pacemakers provide adequate pacing and improve symptoms in patients with symptomatic atrioventricular block?
Permanently implanted transvenous pacemakers are feasible and effective for symptomatic atrioventricular block, with most patients remaining alive and free of syncope despite some correctable complications.
W. J. Spencer (1968) studied this question.
