Safety and Feasibility of Cephalic Venous Access for Cardiac Resynchronization Device Implantation.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices are usually implanted using subclavian vein access, which is associated with the risk of pneumothorax. We examined whether cephalic venous access is an effective alternative to subclavian access by the Seldinger technique for CRT delivery. We retrospec...
