Simplified technique for permanent atrioventricular pacing via a single venipuncture.

The use of physiologic pacing utilizing transvenous atrial and ventricular electrodes has recently taken on increased importance. A simple, safe, technique for electrode implantation has been used in 14 patients and enabled the implanting physicians to establish permanent atrioventricular (A-V) sequential pacing with low risk in a short span of time.
