title: Use of Bachmann's bundle for bipolar atrial pacing.
abstract: In patients with acute or chronic right coronary ischemia, pacing with temporary right atrial epicardial wires is sometimes difficult due to high electrical thresholds. A simple and reproducible technique is described to assure atrial capture and appropriate atrial pacing under these conditions.
