Contrast venography-guided axillary vein puncture linked to venospasm during pacemaker implantation in a case report.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights venospasm as a potential complication during contrast venography-guided axillary vein puncture for pacemaker lead implantation.
Venospasm may complicate contrast venography-guided axillary access; this single case leaves open its incidence and mitigation strategies.
CHAN, N.‐Y., et al.: Venospasm in Contrast Venography‐Guided Axillary Vein Puncture for Pacemaker Lead Implantation. Venospasm is a recognized complication in right heart catheterization and the reported incidence is 2%. Contrast venography guided axillary vein puncture was a recently described technique for pacemaker lead implantation. This report describes a case of venospasm of the axillary vein during pacemaker implantation. (PACE 2003; 26[Pt. I]:112–113)
