Abstract

Placement of temporary atrial and ventricular pacing wires after cardiac surgery continues to be the standard of care. The ideal temporary pacing wire must sense and pace reliably throughout the postoperative period, both in the atrial and ventricular positions, be easily placed and removed, and without significant risk of complications or discomfort to the patient. As none of the currently used temporary pacing wires have been found to be clearly superior to another, most cardiac surgeons use wires and insertion methods they are comfortable with and have found to be reliable.
