TRANSVENOUS PACING
Transvenous pacemakers are inserted into the venous system through a
catheter site such as a specially designed pulmonary artery catheter,
or sheath, and deliver the stimulus via electrodes that are
in direct
contact with the heart tissue itself.
Generally the subclavian, femoral or internal jugular veins are used to
access the right atrium or the right ventricle.
