Why the study?
Cephalic venous cut down avoids complications of vein puncture but is often less successful due to technical difficulties, prompting the evaluation of a simplified modified Seldinger technique.
Does a modified Seldinger technique for cephalic vein access provide high procedural success in patients undergoing CIED implantation?
Does a modified Seldinger technique for cephalic vein access provide high procedural success in patients undergoing CIED implantation?
A modified Seldinger technique for cephalic vein access provides high success rates for CIED lead implantation, potentially avoiding complications associated with subclavian or axillary puncture.
