Continuous Monitoring During Atrial Lead Screw-In, a Method to Reduce Atrial Lead Dislodgement.

ABSTRACT: The atrial lead is essential for atrial or dual-chamber pacing, requiring stable fixation to ensure reliable electrical thresholds and sensing. Despite advancements in lead designs, atrial screw-in leads still face a dislodgement rate of 0%-3.3%. This study introduces a novel technique for atrial lead fixation using real-time injury current monitoring, offering a promising method to minimize lead dislodgement and enhance clinical outcomes.
