The long-term characteristics of the right ventricular outflow tract have been assessed as an alternative permanent pacing site to the right ventricular apex. Thirty-three consecutive patients requiring ventricular pacing were randomized to be paced from one of the two sites. Pacing was performed using a screw-in lead, and a programmable pacemaker was used to facilitate threshold testing. There was no significant difference in the lead positioning time or any acute implant measurement (e.g., threshold at 0.5 msec 0.4 +/- 0.2 V for both sites, P = 0.99). Chronic measurements were also comparable during follow-up (mean 73 months) with a mean threshold at most recent follow-up of 0.15 +/- 0.2 msec (apex) and 0.13 +/- 0.21 msec (outflow tract) at 5 V, P = 0.81. There was only one pacing related complication, a lead dislodgment (outflow tract) in a pacemaker twiddler. Overall, both sites were highly satisfactory.
