Ultrasound‐Guided Axillary Vein Puncture Versus Landmark‐Guided Approach for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Placement
US-guided axillary vein puncture for CIED implantation using a microintroducer kit is a safe technique with a very high success rate. Compared to other traditional approaches, it allows to get access with a lower number of puncture attempts and with reduced times, without prolonging the total procedural time. Moreover, x-ray use and need for contrast medium are very rare in US-guided axillary approach. Hence, it should be considered the strategy of choice for most patients undergoing CIED implantation.
