A newly designed temporary pacemaker wire has been tested in 20 patients who underwent open-heart operations. This new device has a small tip that stays securely buried in the myocardium, thus greatly reducing the risk of accidental dislodgment. In addition, the increase in thresholds during the postoperative period is slighter than with the standard electrode.
