Key result
Fluoroscopic-guided subclavian venous puncture for permanent pacing achieved uneventful access in 90 of 92 patients with a 2.2% complication rate.
Why the study?
Does fluoroscopic observation of the needle trajectory improve the success and safety of infraclavicular subclavian puncture in patients undergoing permanent pacing?

Fluoroscopic guidance may aid subclavian access in pacing; leaves open randomized trials versus landmark technique.
Does fluoroscopic observation of the needle trajectory improve the success and safety of infraclavicular subclavian puncture in patients undergoing permanent pacing?
Fluoroscopic observation during infraclavicular subclavian puncture for permanent pacing is associated with a high success rate and low complication rate.
Lamas et al. (1988) studied this question. Fluoroscopic-guided subclavian venous puncture for permanent pacing achieved uneventful access in 90 of 92 patients with a 2.2% complication rate.
