    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • The atrial septum offers a stable anchor for transvenous electrode placement.
    • The Brockenbrough cardiac catheterization technique facilitates left atrial access.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel transvenous electrode for left atrial implantation.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this new electrode in patients with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a new electrode with a stainless steel coil, platinum cylinder, and Elgiloy wings.
    • Insertion of the electrode into the left atrium via a Brockenbrough catheter.
    • Implantation in five patients diagnosed with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome.

    Main Results:

    • The novel electrode was successfully implanted without complications in all five patients.
    • The electrode design facilitates secure attachment to the atrial septum.
    • The metallic surface area of the distal electrode tip is 5 mm2.

    Conclusions:

    • The newly developed transvenous electrode is safe and effective for left atrial implantation.
    • This electrode represents a promising advancement for managing tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome.
    • The atrial septum serves as a reliable structure for secure electrode fixation.
