Venous obstruction may complicate multi-lead endocardial pacing; leaves open need for prospective confirmation and outcome impact.
Does endocardial pacing cause venous obstruction in pacemaker patients?
Endocardial pacing, particularly with multiple electrodes, is associated with venous obstruction as detected by isotope venography.
Pauletti et al. (1981) studied this question.
