Abstract

Pacemaker implantation via the femoral vein has been described since the 1980s. This technique is not very well known, but may be useful in some circumstances. We describe a case of a patient with sinus dysfunction without superior venous access, in whom a femoral AAIR pacemaker was successfully implanted with an excellent clinical outcome.
Keywords: pacemaker; implantation; superior vena cava syndrome; femoral vein pacemaker; implantation; superior vena cava syndrome; femoral vein
