Pacing catheter

A cardiac catheter with electrodes at the end that is inserted into the patient’s right ventricle to artificially regulate heart rhythm.


A catheter inserted most commonly into the right side of the heart via the brachial, femoral, internal jugular, or subclavian vein for temporary pacing of the heart. The pacing wires or leads provide the electrical stimulus from an external source (a “pulse generator”).
