Preclavicular Route Following Cephalic Venous Cutdown for Pacemaker or Defibrillator Lead Implantation

Preclavicular Route Following Cephalic Venous Cutdown for Pacemaker or Defibrillator Lead Implantation

Following cephalic venous cutdown, an unexpected preclavicular course was used in two cases for a pacemaker and a defibrillator lead implantation. This very rare anomaly was documented by cephalic venogram but did not cause any significant intraoperative difficulty during single lead implantation.
