Does a lateral first rib approach to subclavian venipuncture prevent lead fracture or catheter occlusion compared to standard techniques?
A novel subclavian venipuncture technique targeting the lateral border of the first rib may reduce the risk of pacemaker lead fracture and central venous catheter occlusion.
Magney et al. (1993) studied this question.
