Central venous access techniques for cardiac implantable electronic devices, including cephalic cutdown, subclavian, and axillary approaches, each offer distinct advantages and require specific troubleshooting strategies.
This review provides a practical guide for beginners on central venous access techniques during cardiac implantable electronic device implantation.
Provides a practical reference for venous access in CIED implantation; leaves open need for prospective studies comparing outcomes.
The implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices remains one of the core skills for a cardiologist. This article aims to provide beginners with a practical ‘how to’ guide to the first half of the implantation procedure central venous access. Comparative descriptions of cephalic cutdown technique, conventional subclavian, extrathoracic subclavian and axillary venous punctures are provided, with tips for technique selection and troubleshooting.
