Why the study?
Does placement of pacemaker leads in the axillary vein by double target-guided venipuncture improve safety and effectiveness in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Does placement of pacemaker leads in the axillary vein by double target-guided venipuncture improve safety and effectiveness in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy?
The double target-guided venipuncture approach for axillary vein access appears to be a safe, accurate, and rapid method for pacemaker lead placement in patients undergoing CRT.
Supports feasibility of extrathoracic axillary access in CRT; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
