Left internal jugular vein thrombosis secondary to pacemaker insertion.

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Vascular Surgery
• Medical Education

Background:

• Venous thrombosis is a recognized complication of pacemaker implantation.
• Early detection of thrombus propagation is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a clinical video demonstrating a specific physical examination finding.
• To illustrate thrombus propagation in the internal jugular vein secondary to pacemaker insertion.

Main Methods:

• Presentation of a clinical video case.
• Focus on a distinct physical examination technique.

Main Results:

• The video highlights a specific physical examination sign.
• This sign suggests thrombus propagation in the internal jugular vein.

Conclusions:

• The identified physical examination finding is important for diagnosing venous thrombosis post-pacemaker implant.
• Visualizing this sign aids in understanding thrombus extension in the internal jugular vein.
