The Authors present a new method for the installation of a definitive pacemaker with a percutaneous puncture in the sub-clavian vein. According to the Authors, this method is reserved, in alternative to the other stimulations, to the subjects with the venous anomalies or with difficulties of the electrocatheter introduction through the usual ways or for defect of disponibility of the venous vessels already sacrificed in previous operations. This allows to reduce the number of patients to send to the cardiosurgeon for a myoepicardic stimulation.
