DA Bognolo, R Vijayanagar, PF Eckstein, F Pollicina and FI Rabow
Fifty consecutive, tined, atrial J leads were implanted for atrial and
atrioventricular sequential pacing using lateral view fluoroscopy for
atrial lead manipulation and positioning. The technique is described in
detail. It is concluded that lateral view fluoroscopy allows a more
expeditious and reliable positioning in the right atrial appendage.
