Clinical experience with implantable scanning tachycardia reversion pacemakers.
An automatic, fully implantable scanning pacemaker was developed and has been used for tachycardia termination in man. Since January 1982, 22 patients have had this pacemaker implanted at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and over 125 devices have been used throughout the world. Clinical results have been encouraging, especially with the second-generation device.
