Does percutaneous cannulation of the right internal jugular vein improve safety in patients requiring temporary endocardial pacing?
Percutaneous cannulation of the right internal jugular vein is a safe and feasible approach for temporary endocardial pacing.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports right internal jugular access for temporary pacing in select cases; leaves open need for comparative trials before wider adoption.
In 148 cases the right internal jugular vein was used as the initial approach for percutaneous insertion of temporary endocardial pacemaker electrodes. Complications were few and none were serious. The technique of percutaneous cannulation of this vein for temporary endocardial pacing is described in detail.
