Azygos Vein Dissection during Pacemaker Electrode Lead Insertion: A Case Report

Abstract

The invention of pacemakers has saved lives and improved the quality of life of countless patients. As the number of implantations has increased, so has the number of cases of post-implantation complications. To improve the ability to identify the complications of cardiac pacemaker insertion, it is necessary to remember that any type of intervention, however small, requires constant caution to achieve optimal surgical safety, minimal intraoperative risk, and individualized surgical methods, all of which can reduce the risk of complications of cardiac pacemaker insertion and maximize therapeutic benefits.
