Titel:: Successful pacemaker lead implantation via the subclavian vein despite of high degree stenosis of the vein.
Abstract:: This case reports on an 81-year-old man with implanted dual-chamber pacemaker for binodal disease who required ventricular lead revision due to loss of ventricular capture. Successful placement of a new lead via the subclavian vein despite of high degree stenosis of the medial part of the vein is described using a very thin bipolar ventricular pacing lead. Currently available pacing electrodes for this purpose are reviewed.
