title: Simplified peroperative placement of temporary right atrial pacing leads.
abstract: A simple technique for securing right atrial pacing leads is described. The method relies on pressure fixation by haemostatic clips. Clinical experience over a 2 year period has demonstrated that this system provides safe, reliable and rapid lead attachment. No problems with lead removal have been encountered.
