[Emergency treatment with a temporary balloon-floated pacemaker electrode (author's transl)].
The "blind" insertion of a balloon-tipped pacemaker electrode is a suitable method when emergency pacing at the bedside is needed. The disadvantage of placement of the electrode without fluoroscopic control is counter-balanced by the saving of time and the lesser stress and risk involved for the patient, who is not required to be moved to a fluoroscopic room.
