Iliac Vein Access for Pacemaker Implantation

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.

Abstract Background In chronic haemodialysis patients central veins occlusion occur very often. In such patients, permanent pacemaker placement implantation can be challenging and alternative approaches should be used. Case summary This is a case of 66-year-old male patient with complete atrioventricular block after a mitral valve (MV) surgery for endocarditis. The patient has a permanent surgically inserted haemodialysis catheter in right heart atrium after several unsuccessful attempts of endovascular recanalization of superior vena cava. A lead was implanted in the right ventricle after successful endovascular revascularization of the right iliac vein. The pacemaker was placed in a pouch on the right lower abdominal wall. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first reported case where a permanent single-chamber pacemaker was implanted through the right iliac vein after successful endovascular recanalization in chronic haemodialysis patient post-MV replacement.

Successful Case

Chronic venous disease is strongly associated with morbidity and leads to considerable medical costs. Therefore, its clinical significance is very important. Currently, iliac vein stenting is the first treatment option for chronic venous disease due to iliac vein obstruction. For iliac vein stenting, ipsilateral femoral or popliteal vein access is common. However, great saphenous vein access may be a good alternative if there is obstruction in the ipsilateral femoropopliteal vein. Until now, there has been no reported case of successful iliac vein stenting using great saphenous vein access. We report the first successful case of iliofemoral vein stenting from great saphenous vein access.
