Key result
Three types of transvenous atrial leads demonstrated acceptable electro-physiological function and stability, with early dislodgement occurring in 7 of 86 insertions over a mean 14-month follow-up.
Why the study?
Do different types of transvenous atrial leads (screw-in, J-lead, straight-tined) differ in electrophysiological properties and stability in patients requiring atrial pacing?
Population
76 patients requiring transvenous atrial leads (86 leads inserted)
Comparison

Do different types of transvenous atrial leads (screw-in, J-lead, straight-tined) differ in electrophysiological properties and stability in patients requiring atrial pacing?
Three different types of transvenous atrial leads (screw-in, J-lead, straight-tined) all provide acceptable electrophysiological function and stability for atrial pacing.
PEHRSSON et al. (1984) conducted an observational in Patients requiring transvenous atrial leads (n=76). Transvenous atrial leads (screw-in, J-lead, straight-tined) was evaluated on Electro-physiological properties and electrode stability. Three types of transvenous atrial leads demonstrated acceptable electro-physiological function and stability, with early dislodgement occurring in 7 of 86 insertions over a mean 14-month follow-up.
