  • Title: [Emergency treatment with a temporary balloon-floated pacemaker electrode (author's transl)].
    Author: Pichler M, Gassner A, Kleinberger G, Pall H, Szeless S.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1977 Dec 09; 89(23):793-5. PubMed ID: 595604.
    Abstract:
    The "blind" insertion of a balloon-tipped pacemaker electrode is a suitable method when emergency pacing at the bedside is needed. The disadvantage of placement of the electrode without fluoroscopic control is counter-balanced by the saving of time and the lesser stress and risk involved for the patient, who is not required to be moved to a fluoroscopic room.
