321 PASSIVE ADHERING LEAD-ABSCENCE OF DISLOGMENT AND THRESHOLD PROBLEMS M.Djordjevic,P.Stojanov,D.Velimirovic Pacemaker Center,Medical Faculty University of Belgrade,Yugoslavia Several last years many transvenous lead designs have been introduced to prevent or reduce dislogment.Reported dislogment rate is from 1,5 to 30%. Our experiences includes 512 patients {pts)who received monopolar tined lead (MTL).In 103 pts Medtronic MTL 6961 have been inserted and in 509 pts 6971 lead.Pts.were followed by trimestrial visits.During the mean followup of 24 months we had no case of macro or micro dislogment,nor exit block.Monopolar stimulation threshold(MSTH)of 0,45-0,12V and 0,82*-0,38mA are significantly lower than with previously used systems. The mean R wave was 9,3-2,6mV.Resistance with constant 5V stimulus was 584-72Ohms According to our experience the use this tined lead,especially mode 6971 is followed by low stimulation threshold and excellent lead stability regarding to other passive adhering leads 323 A NEW ELECTRODE FOR REDUCING RISING THRESHOLDS FOLLOWING IMPLANTATION.
