PERMANENT PERVENOUS ATRIAL PACING. A SUCCESSFUL CASE REPORT WITH A J-SHAPED LEAD

Abstract

An experience with a J-shaped lead inserted transvenously into the right atrial appendage is described.
The patient is a 42 years old female who has experience of syncopal attack frequently. Sick sinus syndrome was diagnosed with His bundle electrocardiogramm and no abnormality of atrio-ventricular conduction system was found. So atrial permanent pace maker was implanted pervenously and good result was obtained.
Atrial pacing has significant hemodynamic and electrophysiologic advantages over ventricular pacing.
