[The use of a myocardial screw electrode for continuous stimulation of the heart with a pacemaker (author's transl)].
In 50 patients with serious heart conduction disorders the authors describe the use of a new epicardial screw electrode (Medtronic models 6917 and 6917-A), inserted through a substernal route. The operative technique, the electrode and the authors' experience are described in detail. By comparison with others, the present technique offers many advantages.
