[A second "reserve" epicardial catheter in unipolar electrosystolic stimulation via the epigastrium (author's transl)].
At the time of implantation of a unipolar epicardial pacemaker via an epigastric approach, it is suggested that two wires inserted into two different areas should be used. This method is useful in the treatment of wire fractures, exteriorisation of the box, increases in threshold and infections following numerous box changes which the young individual may need.
