Abstract：Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of atrial and ventricular screw-in pacing leads during permanent pacemaker implantation.Methods The patients needed to be implanted screw-in pacing leads (n=57, male 31, female 26 and average age=65) were chosen from the Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences from Jan. 2016 to Mar. 2017. The threshold, impedance, amplitude and injury current of screw-in pacing leads were detected after successful implantation. The changes of threshold, impedance and amplitude, and dislocation or perforation of screw-in pacing leads were regularly followed up after the implantation.Results In 57 patients with successful implantation of screw-in pacing leads, there were 57 atrial screw-in pacing leads and 41 ventricular screw-in pacing leads. The detections of threshold, impedance and R or P amplitudes indicated that all pacemakers were successfully implanted and there were no complications observed. The regular follow-up showed that the pacemakers worked normally without dislocation or perforation of screw-in pacing leads.Conclusion The implantation of atrial and ventricular screw-in pacing leads is safe and reliable, which can be taken as a routine mode for pacemaker implantation.
