Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Medical Devices
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Damage to pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads is an increasing clinical issue.
  • Preventing lead damage is crucial for device efficacy and patient safety.
  • Current venous access methods may contribute to lead complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel double marker-guided venipuncture technique for extrathoracic subclavian and/or axillary vein access.
  • To evaluate the safety, speed, and efficacy of this approach for device lead placement.
  • To assess the suitability of this technique for complex procedures like cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the double marker-guided venipuncture procedure.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Focus on targeting the extrathoracic subclavian and/or axillary veins.
  • Application of the technique for pacemaker and ICD lead implantation.

    • Main Results:

    • The described method facilitates definite, safe, and speedy extrathoracic venipuncture.
    • The technique appears well-suited for procedures requiring multiple lead placements.
    • Potential to reduce complications associated with lead damage.

    Conclusions:

    • Double marker-guided extrathoracic venipuncture is a viable technique for venous access.
    • This method may be particularly beneficial for cardiac resynchronization therapy lead implantation.
    • Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term outcomes and broader applicability.
