Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Permanent cardiac pacing requires reliable electrode placement.
  • Standard pacemaker lead insertion can be challenging in certain patients.
  • Venous access for electrode insertion is critical for pacing success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a modified pacemaker lead for percutaneous subclavian vein insertion.
  • To evaluate the potential advantages of this modified lead in cardiac pacing.
  • To provide an alternative method for permanent pacemaker implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a modified pacemaker lead.
  • Utilizing percutaneous puncture of the subclavian vein.
  • Application of the Seldinger technique for lead insertion.

Main Results:

  • The modified lead is designed for insertion via subclavian vein puncture.
  • The Seldinger technique is employed for lead placement.
  • The lead facilitates permanent cardiac pacing.

Conclusions:

  • A modified pacemaker lead offers a new approach for permanent cardiac pacing.
  • Percutaneous subclavian vein insertion simplifies lead placement.
  • This method is advantageous when conventional venous access is difficult.
