Popis: BACKGROUND The implantation of leads in the right atrial septum (RAS) or the right ventricular septum (RVS) is technically challenging, and dislodgement occurs occasionally. This study aims to determine a predictor for the dislodgement of leads implanted in the RAS or RVS. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 137 consecutive patients who underwent the cardiac implantable electronic devices implantation, using active fixation leads in the RAS and RVS. We compared the pacing threshold, R- or P-wave amplitude, slew rate, and presence of the current of injury (COI) between dislodged and nondislodged leads. RESULTS We performed lead fixation for 74 and 125 times in the RAS and RVS, respectively. Atrial lead dislodgement occurred five times (6.8%) intraoperatively and five times (6.8%) postoperatively, whereas ventricular lead dislodgement occurred eight times (6.4%) intraoperatively and three times (2.4%) postoperatively. Although there were no lead parameters that showed a significant difference common to RAS lead and RVS lead, the presence of the COI was significantly different between nondislodged and dislodged leads in both the RAS and RVS (atrial leads: 57.8% vs 0%, P
