Safety and Effectiveness of Placement of Pacemaker Leads for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Axillary Vein by Double Target-guided Venipuncture

Safety and Effectiveness of Placement of Pacemaker Leads for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Axillary Vein by Double Target-guided Venipuncture

Background: The increasing incidence of damage to pacemaker leads for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT. is an emerging problem that should be prevented. The extrathoracic venipuncture approach has been suggested as a technique for venous access to avoid the problem. Methods and Results: 10 pat...
