Fluoroscopy‐guided axillary vein access vs cephalic vein access in pacemaker and defibrillator implantation: Randomized clinical trial of efficacy and safety
Axillary vein puncture guided by ultrasound (US-Ax) versus cephalic vein dissection in pacemaker and defibrillator implant: a multicenter randomized clinical trial is a recently published study in which 88 patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion to one of the two methods. Even being performed by operators with not previous ultrasound-guided axillary vein puncture experience, this group presented a higher success rate, lower procedural time and comparable complication incidence.
