[X-ray-examination-time during implantation of pervenous leads for permanent cardiac pacing (author's transl)].
From February 1974 to December 1975 we performed 295 pacemaker operations. 165 of those were primary implantations of pervenous leads for permanent cardiac pacing. The X-ray examination time was between 0.1 and 17.0 minutes, their mean value was 2.6, their median 1.7 minutes. In those 165 cases there was a dislocation of the lead in 10.9 percent. Although our X-ray examination time was extremely short however in comparison with the literature we found no arise of our dislocation rate. Some hinces to keep radiation small are discussed.
