Is the percutaneous axillary vein approach as effective and safe as the subclavian vein approach for pacemaker implantation in children?
Is the percutaneous axillary vein approach as effective and safe as the subclavian vein approach for pacemaker implantation in children?
The axillary vein approach is a safe and effective alternative to the subclavian vein approach for pacemaker implantation in children, even those with smaller vein diameters.
Supports axillary vein access as alternative in pediatric PM implantation; leaves open randomized comparison to subclavian approach.
The axillary vein approach for PM implantation in children is effective and safe for physicians skilled with subclavian vein approach. Younger patients with smaller vein diameters are at low risk for unsuccessful procedure.
