Abstract:
:Occlusion of the superior vena cava is a rare but serious complication of transvenous endocardial pacing. We describe an unusual approach for permanent pacemaker implantation using the azygous vein in a patient with occlusion of the bilateral total subclavian and innominate veins after previous bilateral pectoral pacemaker implantation. Endocardial pacing using the azygous vein with minimal invasive thoracotomy may be a good option for patients with inaccessible subclavian route.
