A temporary cardiac pacing wire (TPW) includes an electrically conductive flexible wire having a bioabsorbable anchor near its distal end. The anchor includes a tubular section that surrounds the wire and a leg that extends from the tubular section at an acute angle to the wire. The bioabsorbable anchor causes minimal trauma to the heart when it is inserted with the TPW, but securely anchors the TPW in the heart. After the TPW is no longer needed, it can be removed, again with minimal trauma to the heart, leaving behind only the bioabsorbable anchor. The bioabsorbable anchor is suitable for use with both monopolar and bipolar TPWs.
