Key result
Local thrombolysis successfully treated two recurrences of axillary subclavian vein thrombosis occurring more than one year after permanent transvenous pacemaker implantation.
Local thrombolysis can successfully treat recurrent pacemaker lead-induced axillary subclavian vein thrombosis.
May support local thrombolysis for recurrent late subclavian thrombosis post-pacemaker; leaves open need for prospective validation.
SWINKELS, B.M., et al. : Recurrent Pacemaker Lead Induced Axillary Subclavian Vein Thrombosis. This report describes a patient with two recurrences of axillary subclavian vein thrombosis more than 1 year after implantation of a permanent transvenous pacemaker. Both recurrences were successfully treated with local thrombolysis.
