Temporary transvenous pacing (TTVP) is an emergency procedure frequently performed in the elderly. An apparent decline in its use, which appears to be multifactorial, has led to its role in a district general hospital (DGH) to be questioned. We present data from six years of procedures performed on patients over 50 years of age at a DGH without onsite permanent pacing facilities.
