Since November 1988, 514 patients with advanced atrioventricular (AV) block and normal sinoatrial function have received the single lead VDD pacing system Twinal 30 Lem/CCS in 30 Italian centers. At implantation, particular attention was paid to the correct positioning of the atrial dipole in the mid- to mid-high right atrium and to the atrial electrogram characteristics. The follow-up included a chest X ray, to be performed before discharge of the patient from the hospital, telemetric evaluations of the endoatrial potential, provocative tests for interferences by myopotentials, 24-hour ambulatory EGG recordings, and where possible, exercise stress tests. The mean follow-up duration was 15.2 months, ranging from 1 to 42 months. A very low percentage of chronic atrial fibrillation, loss of atrial sensing, and system replacement was reported, most of the patients (93.5%) being paced in VDD mode. All investigations indicated an excellent overall system performance, stable AV synchrony, and infrequent myopotential interference, and a low complication rate throughout the follow-up period.
