Implantation of permanent transvenous atrial J lead using lateral view fluoroscopy.
Fifty consecutive, tined, atrial J leads were implanted for atrial and atrioventricular sequential pacing using lateral view fluoroscopy for atrial lead manipulation and positioning. The technique is described in detail. It is concluded that lateral view fluoroscopy allows a more expeditious and reliable positioning in the right atrial appendage.
