Why the study?
Is permanent pacemaker implantation via the femoral vein a feasible and safe alternative in patients with contraindications to the SVC approach?
Is permanent pacemaker implantation via the femoral vein a feasible and safe alternative in patients with contraindications to the SVC approach?
Femoral vein permanent pacemaker implantation is a feasible alternative for patients with contraindications to the standard pectoral approach, though atrial lead displacement is a notable complication.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Femoral vein PPM may be feasible when SVC access is contraindicated; atrial displacement leaves open questions on durability and need for prospective trials.
