Hemoptysis After Subclavian Vein Puncture for Pacemaker Implantation: Importance of Wire-Guided Venous Puncture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of hemoptysis occurring after subclavian vein puncture for pacemaker implantation. Hemoptysis related to injury of lung parenchyma is a rare complication of subclavian vein access and is usually self limited, but can affect prognosis in critically ill patients. Venogram-guided or even better wire-guided venous puncture allow safe access to the subclavian vein in difficult cases. A review of the pertinent literature is also presented.

Venous spasm during contrast-guided axillary vein puncture for pacemaker or defibrillator lead implantation.
AIMS Contrast-guided axillary vein puncture is commonly used for pacemaker or defibrillator lead implantation. Venous spasm during contrast-guided axillary vein puncture has been reported rarely. We investigated the incidence of venous spasm during contrast-guided axillary vein puncture and the impact of venous spasm on axillary vein puncture. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-four consecutive pati...
متن کاملA safe and effective method for pacemaker implantation in children Axillary vein puncture for device implantation and use of 4F catheter- delivered pacing leads in children
Background: Contrast-guided axillary vein puncture has gained popularity for pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation in adults owing to its low risk profile, and could be an alternative to subclavian vein puncture, which is commonly performed in children. The Medtronic 3830 lead is a 4.1F lumenless catheter-delivered lead which may be particularly well-suited for...
متن کاملSuccessful Interventional Management for Pulmonary Arterial Injury Secondary to Pacemaker Implantation
Subclavian vein puncture is a relatively fast and safe technique to access the right heart for placement of pacemaker leads. Hemothorax related to injury of the pulmonary artery (PA) is a rare complication of subclavian vein access but can be life-threatening. We report a case of hemothorax occurring after subclavian vein puncture for pacemaker implantation. No cases of transcatheter arterial e...
متن کاملVenous spasm during pacemaker implantation.
A 75-years-old female presented with dyspnea and syncope. Electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation and complete atrioventricular block. She was therefore listed for pacemaker implantation on the next day. Initial attempt at venous access was left axillary vein. A venogram showed good venous anatomy (Fig. 1a). Several attempts to puncture axillary vein were made. However, there was no good...
متن کامل[Pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava].
Implantation of a single-chamber pacemaker was planned in an 83-year-old woman with sick-sinus syndrome causing dizziness, bradycardia and tachycardia. After puncture of the right subclavian vein it proved impossible to advance a guide-wire into the superior vena cava, under fluoroscopy the wire always being seen to coil in the left subclavian vein and hence passing into a caudally directed vei...
