Abstract: | A simple method for the positioning of a temporary pacemaker electrode in the course of open-heart operation is presented. Instead of using “back stitching,” we recommend that after the wire electrode is passed through the myocardium, it should be driven through a small pledget of Silastic rubber material to hold it in position. |
