Key result
Perclose device successfully closes subclavian artery puncture following inadvertent arterial pacemaker lead removal.
Why the study?
Closure techniques for subclavian artery puncture sites after inadvertent arterial pacemaker lead placement are not well described.

A percutaneous suture device can be used to close a subclavian artery puncture site after the removal of an inadvertently placed arterial pacemaker lead.
We describe the closure of a subclavian artery puncture site with a percutaneous suture device after removal of a pacemaker lead 1 week after its inadvertent positioning in the left ventricle via the subclavian artery. The lead was retracted from the left ventricle into the aorta and linked to a guiding catheter introduced via femoral artery access. The lead and the guiding catheter were removed from the artery to the subclavian area. This manoeuvre allowed the placement of a percutaneous arterial suture device (Perclose) to close the puncture site.

Meyhoefer et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Inadvertent positioning of a pacemaker lead in the left ventricle via the subclavian artery (n=1). Closure of subclavian artery puncture site with a percutaneous suture device (Perclose) was evaluated on Closure of the puncture site. Closure of a subclavian artery puncture site was successfully achieved using a percutaneous suture device (Perclose) after removing an inadvertently placed arterial pacemaker lead.
