It has been reported that biatrial pacing can prevent the recurrence of atrial fibrillation. This technique requires a stable coronary sinus (CS) lead position for left atrial pacing. We report our experience of CS pacing with a specifically designed lead [Medtronic 2188 (n= 19)] and active fixation leads [Pacesetter Tendril (n=3), Medtronic Capsurefix (n=6)] in 21 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and a normal mean left atrial size of 39 mm (range 33-54 mm).
