Key result
A cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator was successfully implanted via echo-guided axillary venous approach in an 82-year-old COVID-19 patient with recent myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered the management of patients requiring cardiac implantable electronic device implantation.
Population
