    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Medical Device Complications

    Background:

    • Permanent endocardial pacemaker implantation is a common procedure for managing bradyarrhythmias.
    • Complications associated with pacemaker insertion, though infrequent, can impact patient outcomes.
    • Vascular access via the subclavian vein is a standard approach for pacemaker lead placement.
