May support safer extrathoracic access in CIED implantation; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized validation before practice change.
The double marker-guided extrathoracic venipuncture method provides a safe and effective approach for venous access during device implantation, potentially reducing lead damage.
Kawakami et al. (2004) studied Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead placement. Double marker-guided venipuncture of extrathoracic subclavian and/or axillary vein was evaluated. Double marker-guided venipuncture of the extrathoracic subclavian and/or axillary vein provides a safe and speedy approach for venous access during pacemaker and ICD lead placement.
