[Technic of implanting cardiac pacemakers, using the endovenous route]

An original technique is presented, used for the approach of the vein in the delto-pectoral space with the aid of an electrode floated through the arm veins of patients being prepared for cardiac pacemaker implantation by an endovenous route. The method is useful in those patients in whom the vein cannot be detected in the delto-pectoral space with the aid of the usual methods. This method allows to discover the vein with great ease, avoiding additional incisions, as well as long manoeuvers involving some risks for the patient.
