Abstract
- A pacemaker-induced venous obstruction is relatively common, but is rare in cases where chronic venous occlusion has developed and progressed after the removal of permanent pacemaker leads. We report a case of permanent pacemaker implantation following percutaneous balloon venoplasty in a patient with innominate vein stenosis. The patient had a history of permanent pacemaker implantation, using a right subclavian approach, with lead extraction due to infective endocarditis 6 years earlier. Although the epicardial leads were re-implanted, once more the ventricular lead broke. When we tried to implant a new pacemaker, using a left subclavian endovascular approach, extensive venous stenoses of the innominate, right internal jugular and subclavian veins were found. As it was impossible to advance the standard pacemaker lead; therefore, percutaneous balloon venoplasty of the innominate vein was performed, and a DDD-R pacemaker successfully implanted.
