Abstract:
Venous occlusion is an uncommon complication of transvenous cardiac pacing. Fibrotic occlusion of the right subclavian and innominate veins and stenosis of the left innominate vein, after the insertion of transvenous pacing wire, was corrected surgically with an external iliac vein graft.
