Overcoming the challenge of venous occlusion for lead implantation
Abstract
Vein stenosis or occlusion is a frequent finding in patients with previously-implanted transvenous leads. This editorial describes the different techniques that may be used to overcome this hurdle in case a new lead needs to be implanted, and discusses two case reports in this issue of the journal.
Keywords: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead; Pacemaker lead; Vein occlusion; Vein stenosis.
