Key result
Permanent endocardial pacemaker electrode insertion may be complicated by cannulation of a persistent left-sided superior vena cava or unsuspected subclavian vein thrombosis.
Case Report (n=2)
Persistent left-sided superior vena cava and subclavian vein thrombosis are important potential complications to recognize during permanent pacemaker insertion.

Alerts clinicians to rare venous anomalies during pacemaker insertion; case reports leave open incidence and optimal strategies.
Gillmer et al. (1981) conducted a case report in Permanent endocardial pacemaker electrode insertion (n=2). Permanent endocardial pacemaker electrode insertion was evaluated on Complications during insertion. Permanent endocardial pacemaker electrode insertion may be complicated by cannulation of a persistent left-sided superior vena cava or unsuspected subclavian vein thrombosis.
