Extraction and Reimplantation of Defibrillation Leads Through a Thrombotic Subclavian Vein
1999
Venous thrombosis is one of the most frequently encountered obstacles when reintervening on endocardial leads. We report on two patients with a ventricular defibrillator requiring lead replacement in whom a subclavian vein thrombosis was documented prior to the intervention. We recanalized the vein and replaced the lead through the same path to preserve the venous access.
