Key result
Permanent cardiac pacing via subclavian venipuncture was performed in 150 patients with only one early electrode dislodgement and one late wire repositioning over a mean 11-month follow-up.

Is the subclavian venipuncture technique safe and effective for permanent cardiac pacing in patients with pacing indications?
The subclavian venipuncture technique for permanent cardiac pacing is a rapid procedure with a low rate of early and late complications.
Kouvaras et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Indications for permanent cardiac pacing (high-grade A-V block, sick sinus syndrome, carotid hypersensitivity) (n=150). Subclavian venipuncture technique for permanent cardiac pacing was evaluated on Early and late complications. Permanent cardiac pacing via subclavian venipuncture was performed in 150 patients with only one early electrode dislodgement and one late wire repositioning over a mean 11-month follow-up.
