Brief Summary

Temporary cardiac pacing with active-fixation leads (TPAFL) using a reusable permanent pacemaker generator has been shown to be safer than lead systems without fixation. However, TPAFL requires the of...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient older than 18 years.
  • Need for temporary cardiac stimulation
  • Temporary active fixation pacemaker implantation through left or right jugular access.
  • Signature of informed consent
  • Correct functioning of the electrode after the implantation: sensing of the R wave above 5 millivolts. Ventricular pacing threshold below 1 volt. Electrode impedance between 400-1200 Ohm.
  • Pacemaker programming with stimulation output at 5 volts intensity and 1 millisecond pulse duration.
  • Placement of the KronoSafe® fastening system after electrode implantation.

Exclusion

  • Complication during the procedure: pneumothorax, hematoma at the puncture site, cardiac perforation, accidental arterial puncture or other that, in the investigator's opinion, poses an added risk of pacemaker dysfunction.
  • Need to transfer the patient to another center with loss of follow-up.
  • Absence of surveillance through continuous electrocardiographic monitoring with detection of arrhythmic events.
