[Experimental study of a new myocardial electrode for permanent pace making (author's transl)]

We carried out this trial in order to seek a myocardial electrode easy to insert and reliable even when at some distance. The study seems to respond to the objectives fixed at the time of the plan. The electrode was inserted with the apparatus commonly and on surgical units. The reliability and the distant response are comparable to those of other electrodes previously employed in human surgery. The follow up of this experimental series was too short to judge the long term superiority concerning the stability of electrical measurements and mechanical resistance of the electrode.
