Although usually asymptomatic, obstruction may render electrode removal difficult. This study aimed at quantifying changes in venous calibers in a prospective fashion by intravenous contrast venography (ICV) before and after pacemaker (PM) or cardioverter\u2010defibrillator implantation.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> One hundred and fifty (mean age 67; 61% male) consecutive patients were enrolled, and followed for 6 months. A successful ICV was done at baseline prior to implantation and at 6\u2010month follow\u2010up in 136 (91%) patients. Minimum (D<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>) and maximum (D<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>) vessel diameters were obtained from both ICVs. A new stenosis was defined as a 50% diameter reduction in a venous segment when compared to baseline. We implanted a total of 230 electrodes: 47 (34.6%) single lead, 84 (61.8%) 2\u2010lead, and 5 (3.7%) 3\u2010lead systems.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> At baseline ICV, 10 patients (7%) were found to have venous anomalies, including 8 patients with obstructive lesions, 1 patient with a persistent left superior vena cava, and 1 patient with double axillary vein. At 6 months, a new obstructive venous lesion had developed in a total of 19 (14%) patients, none of whom exhibited any local symptoms. Of these patients 14 (10%) had a stenosis (mean D<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub> 4.6 mm and diameter 38% of baseline), and 5 (3.6%) had a complete venous occlusion. In most cases the new stenosis developed in a location where the vessel was narrowest at baseline. Clinical predictors for the development of stenosis were atrial fibrillation at baseline and biventricular PM implantation.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> This is the first systematic study to quantify venous changes after PM or ICD implantation. Our study shows that venous anomalies rendering PM implantation difficult are not infrequent. The incidence of new venous obstruction was 14%. Atrial fibrillation and biventricular PM implantation were independent predictors of venous obstruction.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2007.00650.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,1]],"date-time":"2007-03-01T00:21:18Z","timestamp":1172708478000},"page":"199-206","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["Venous Obstruction After Pacemaker Implantation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"PETRI","family":"KORKEILA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"KAI","family":"NYMAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ANTTI","family":"YLITALO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JUHANI","family":"KOISTINEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PASI","family":"KARJALAINEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JUHA","family":"LUND","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.E.
