A thrombin-like serine protease, jararassin-I, was isolated from the venom of Bothrops
jararaca. The protein was obtained in high yield and purity by a single chromatographic step …

Aims Cephalic vein cutdown (CVC) and subclavian puncture (SP) are widely used
techniques for lead insertion of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Whether one …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venous access
techniques for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Background …

Background Axillary vein puncture guided by ultrasound (US-Ax) has emerged as a valid
alternative access route to pacemaker and defibrillator lead insertion. Objective The purpose …

Introduction The most widespread venous sites of access for implantation intravenous
implantable cardiac electronic device (CIED) are the cephalic and subclavian vein …

Nearly one in ten patients experience complications in relation to cardiac implantable
electronic device (CIED) implantations. CIED complications have serious implications for the …

Abstract Background and Aims Intra-pocket ultrasound-guided axillary vein puncture (IPUS-
AVP) for venous access in implantation of transvenous cardiac implantable electronic …

Background Axillary vein access (AVA) using fluoroscopic landmarks is an effective and safe
approach for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implantation. However, it may …

Purpose The cephalic vein cutdown (CVC) and the subclavian puncture (SP) is the most
common access for pacemaker implantation. The purpose of this study was to compare the …

Background: Classical fluoroscopic criteria for the documentation of septal right ventricular
(RV) lead positioning have poor accuracy. We sought to evaluate the individualized left …
