Standardised procedure for pacemaker axillary vein puncture
Successful fluoroscopy-guided axillary vein puncture depends critically on patient-specific anatomical factors, including sex, BMI, clavicle-first rib spatial relationships, and smoking status. Our standardized protocol achieved high success rates (94.9%) without ultrasound assistance, highlighting its utility in resource-limited settings.
