The safety and convenience of the transvenous approach to long-term endocardial pacing are well established, but its principal drawback is electrode displacement. The reported incidence of this complication varies between 3.0% to 36.7%, and is highest in the early post-implantation period before endocardial fixation of the electrode tip. Recently Brewster and Evans determined that the electrode displacement rate in 21 published series averaged 14.3%. However, the Inter Society Committee on Heart Diseases (ICHD) report on pacemakers states that a rate of early displacement greater than 5% calls for a critical review of results. The training and expertise of the persons inserting the pacemaker electrodes undoubtedly are major factors which determine the proper transvenous placement of permanent cardiac electrodes. This paper deals with our clinical experience of 353 patients who received permanent transvenous pacemakers during the period September 1, 1974 through March 1, 1979, with emphasis on problems and complications encountered and overall results.

This study assesses the clinical and electrode complications associated with the use of the epicardial screw-on electrode technique for permanent ventricular pacing. The records of 114 consecutive patients who received screw-on epicardial electrodes were analyzed in-hospital and at one year following implantation. We compared two techniques of implanting the screw-on electrode: 72 transmediastinal (TM) and 42 subxiphoid (SX) procedures. Baseline clinical inequalities were not apparent between the SX and TM patients. There was one operative death in the SX series and none among the TM patients. Total hospital mortality was 4% in the SX group and 2% in the TM group. In-hospital morbidity in the SX series (13/72-18%) was less than the TM group (14/42-33%), largely due to pleural entry and necessity for more frequent chest tube placement in TM patients. Electrode complications were low in both groups (3% in-hospital and 3% late; total 6/114, or 5%). Morbidity and mortality of these approaches to direct myocardial pacing remain noticeably higher than reported results of some transvenous series. Excellent electrode stability can be attained using the screw-on electrode, however, and the SX approach offers lower hospital morbidity than the TM method.
