Abstract
Pacemaker lead dislodgement has accounted for a large proportion of the postoperative complications seen after transvenous pacemaker insertion. Ninety-two patients underwent implantation of a tined transvenous electrode over a three-year period without a single dislodgement. Excellent thresholds were obtained and no difficulties related to electrode insertion were encountered. Tined transvenous pacemaker leads are preferred for routine use at this time.Keywords
