The new era of ventricular pacing during structural interventions

J A Belardi et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. .

Abstract

Ventricular pacing is mandatory in many structural interventions, with associated risks like tamponade and capture loss. The Tempo pacing wire was designed to deal with these issues incorporating an elastomeric balloon on the tip and an active fixation system. In this initial multicenter experience, Tempo pacing wire demonstrated an outstanding performance in both safety and efficacy aspects of ventricular pacing during and after structural interventions.
