Do patient age, body size, and lead characteristics predict venous occlusion in children and young adults with transvenous lead systems?
Patient age, body size, and lead characteristics at implant do not predict venous occlusion in children and young adults with transvenous lead systems.
Transvenous lead systems implanted in young children have a similar incidence of venous occlusion compared to older patients. Furthermore, patient age, body size, and lead characteristics at implant do not clearly predict venous occlusion.
Bar‐Cohen et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
