    Author: Karim AM, Singh SH, Pantazopoulos J.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1979 Apr; 77(4):626-8. PubMed ID: 423597.
    Abstract:
    In two cases of permanent transvenous pacemaker failure, the defective pacing electrode could not be removed. A second pacing electrode was placed in the same vein to avoid an additional operation. To our knowledge, this simple and effective procedure has not been previously reported.
