Clinical experience with screw-in electrode for transvenous ventricular implantaion

Abstract

We had the chance of using clinically new active, positive anchoring electrode, which was screw-in lead model 6957. This electrode had the following features that cork-screw electrode was exposed or withdrawn by rotation of terminal pin and had the X-ray control-indicator ring to verify exposed corkscrew.
We came to the conclusion that this electrode was satisfactory clinical results for getting the pacing thresholds and sensing signals, and tere were no complications for early follow-up period.
