    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular medicine
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Medical device development

    Context:

    • Intracardiac pacemaker electrode dislocation is a significant clinical challenge.
    • Current fixation methods can lead to myocardial damage.
    • Improved electrode stability is crucial for long-term pacemaker efficacy.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a new helical-tip electrode designed to reduce pacemaker lead dislocation.
    • To describe the fixation mechanism of the novel electrode within the right ventricle.
    • To highlight the myocardial safety of the new fixation method.

    Summary:

    • A novel intracardiac pacemaker electrode featuring a helical tip has been developed.
    • The helical tip facilitates secure fixation by engaging with the trabeculae of the right ventricle through clockwise rotation.
    • This design avoids sharp hooks, thereby preventing damage to the myocardium during fixation.

    Impact:

    • Potential to significantly decrease the incidence of pacemaker lead dislodgement.
    • Offers a safer alternative for myocardial fixation compared to traditional hook-based electrodes.
    • May improve long-term pacemaker performance and reduce revision surgery rates.
