    Abstract:
    The late outcomes of continuous endocardial pacing surgery were studied in 34 patients when various approaches were used to fix a proximal endocardial electrode. When fixed to a vein or its adjacent tissues, the electrode remained to be stable while raising hands. When fixed to the cephalic vein, this procedure was accompanied by the displacement of the endocardial electrode and the appearance of X-ray signs of electrode instability. The new procedure for fixing the proximal electrode contributes to the stability preservation of the intracardiac part of an endocardial electrode.
