Why the study?
Does medial percutaneous subclavian catheterization increase compressive loads on pacemaker leads compared to lateral puncture or cephalic cutdown?
Does medial percutaneous subclavian catheterization increase compressive loads on pacemaker leads compared to lateral puncture or cephalic cutdown?
Medial percutaneous subclavian catheterization generates significantly higher compressive loads on pacemaker leads compared to lateral puncture or cephalic cutdown, predisposing to lead failure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor lateral or cephalic access to limit lead compression; leaves open effects on clinical lead failure rates.
Jacobs et al. (1993) studied this question.
