[Repair of an electrode breakage in a permanent pacemaker by internal bypassing]

A possible complication of the definitive pacemaker therapy is the fracture on the electrode which usually needs new electrode replacement. A new method is discussed as the electrical fault caused by fracture is resolved by internally bypassing the broken part of the electrode with a guide-wire. This method is more simple and economical and quicker than the electrode replacement and provides more safety for the patients. This method is therefore recommended to be spread.
