SHM Converge Scientific Abstract ePoster Gallery-The Clot Thickens: Procedures Can Be a Pain in the Neck

Pdf Summary

This reference list supports a study focused on temporary transvenous pacing, permanent pacemaker implantation, and related vascular complications. The cited literature covers pacemaker indications, temporary cardiac pacing techniques, and complication rates associated with transvenous pacing procedures. Several sources address venous thrombosis, stenosis, and obstruction after pacemaker lead insertion or temporary femoral pacing, indicating that vascular access complications are a major concern.  <br /><br />Key themes include the incidence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and venous occlusion after both temporary and permanent pacemaker placement, as well as the potential effect of anticoagulation on thrombosis risk. Case reports and clinical series describe complications such as internal jugular vein thrombosis, upper extremity deep vein thrombosis, and neck pain after pacemaker procedures.  <br /><br />The references also suggest concern about procedural safety and operator training, particularly in temporary transvenous pacing. Overall, the bibliography emphasizes that while pacing devices are essential for managing bradyarrhythmias and conduction abnormalities, they can be associated with significant venous and thrombotic complications that require careful prevention, monitoring, and management.
