[Clinical evaluation of continuous myocardial electrostimulation of the atria in the sick sinus syndrome].

Forty-four patients with the syndrome of pacemaker weakness were subjected to the operation of the continuous electrostimulation of the right atrium from the infrasternal access using sutureless electrodes. Patients with grave attendant diseases were shown to benefit from this procedure. The use of Soviet commercially available sutureless electrodes makes it possible to considerably simplify the main stage of the operation and to ensure the reliable functioning of the biocontrolled cardiostimulators at the long-term postoperative period.
