The femoral route revisited: an alternative for pectoral pacing lead implantation

Neth Heart J. 2010 Jan;18(1):42-4.

Abstract

We describe the implantation via the femoral vein of a dual-chamber pacing system with lumenless, catheter-delivered pacing leads in a patient in whom subclavian access on both sides was obstructed. (Neth Heart J 2010;18:42-4.).

Keywords: artificial; cardiac pacing; femoral vein; pacing leads; technique; venous access.
