Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of the improved approach of intraoperative temporary epicardial pacing lead implantation in complete video-assisted cardiac surgery. Method We included 50 cardiac patients with video-assisted cardiac surgery indications in our hospital from September 2013 to November 2013. According to approach to placing intraoperative temporary epicardial pacing lead, the patients were divided into two groups including an improved group (30 patients with 17 males and 13 females at age of 45.6±15.7 years) and a traditional group (20 patients with 12 males and 8 females at age of 44.2±17.7 years). Time of temporary epicardial pacing lead implantation, potential perioperative complications, and clinical data of intraoperation and postoperation were compared between the two groups. Result All the patients survived during perioperative period. No intraoperative bleeding, no pericardial tamponade, no infection caused by pacing wires, as well as no relevant postoperative complications occurred. Implantation time in the improved group is shorter than that in the traditional group (P<0.001). No patient had been found situations like moderate pericardial effusion, as well as pacing leads shifting during the following-up period. Conclusion The improved approach has shorten the implantation time, which is simpler and more effective. No patient suffers from postoperative complications during short-term following-up. But the effect in long-term following-up period is still contentious.
