Lead-Related Venous Obstruction in Patients With Implanted Cardiac Devices
Key result
Multidisciplinary approach guides evaluation and stepwise management of CIED lead-associated venous obstruction.
Why the study?
The risk factors for lead-related venous obstruction in patients with implanted cardiac devices remain poorly understood, and management strategies require multidisciplinary evaluation.
Population
Patients with implanted cardiac devices experiencing lead-related venous obstruction
Comparison
Various therapeutic interventions including anticoagulation, thrombus debulking, lead extraction, venoplasty, and stenting

Implication
This review outlines a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and managing lead-related venous obstruction in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
Key Points
- To synthesize current evidence on the risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and multidisciplinary therapeutic interventions for lead-related venous obstruction associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
- Synthesized clinical literature addressing venous obstruction involving the subclavian, brachiocephalic, and superior vena cava veins caused by transvenous leads.
- Evaluated diagnostic pathways centered on clinical evaluation and cross-sectional imaging alongside invasive and medical management options.
- Lead-associated venous obstruction causes significant upper body symptoms and restricts vascular access necessary for the implantation of additional device leads.
- Effective therapeutic strategies require a multidisciplinary approach combining systemic anticoagulation with targeted interventional procedures, such as thrombus debulking, lead extraction, venoplasty, and stenting.
