Successful left ventricular lead placement by way of an azygos vein for a patient performing cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation with an occluded left subclavian vein: A case report

Central venous obstruction following pacemaker implantation is not uncommon and can prove challenging in the case of a system upgrade to a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT‐P). We describe the case of a patient who underwent a successful upgrading procedure of a pacemaker to a CRT‐P i...

Description
Summary:Central venous obstruction following pacemaker implantation is not uncommon and can prove challenging in the case of a system upgrade to a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT‐P). We describe the case of a patient who underwent a successful upgrading procedure of a pacemaker to a CRT‐P in the presence of an occluded left subclavian vein and superior vena cava, using collateral veins that drained into right atrium.
