Optimized Axillary Vein Technique versus Subclavian Vein Technique in Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Implantation

Primary subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis.

Primary thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein is a condition of uncertain origin resulting in proximal arm swelling, discomfort on use, and prominence of engorged collateral veins in the upper arm and chest. The literature is reviewed and the authors' own experience with 23 patients, evaluated from 1950 through 1966, is detailed. This disorder is a clinically distinct venous complication o...

Effort thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to outline the clinical patterns, diagnosis and the outcome of patients with 'effort' subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis. METHODS The medical records of 7 patients diagnosed with 'effort' subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis between 1992 and 2000 at the Princess Basma Teaching Hospital, Irbid, Jordan were reviewed. Patients with secondary subclavian-axillary...

Modification of the technique for subclavian-vein catheterization.

INTRODUCTION In invasive monitoring, subclavian-vein puncture is a routine procedure indicated for central vein cathe-terization. It is indicated in patients according to hospital stay, including the administration of drugs and the treatment of chronic and cardiac disease. The techniques described to date include infraclavicular percutaneous puncture; others place catheters using angiographic m...

Internal jugular vein cannulation versus subclavian vein cannulation. A surgeon's view: the subclavian vein.

Management of subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis: a review.

OBJECTIVE To study, by literature review, the management of subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis (SAVT) and to make recommendations. DATA SOURCES The MEDLINE database and cross-referenced articles. STUDY SELECTION Key words subclavian-axillary vein thrombosis, venous thrombosis, Paget-Schroetter syndrome, anticoagulation, and thrombolysis were used to extract articles related to SAVT. DATA...
