Clinical Trial Summary

Venous access is a fundamental step in lead insertion for endovenous cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED). Cephalic vein cutdown is the most widely used technique in Europe. Ultrasound-guided axillary vein access is a promising alternative but there is a lack of clinical evidence supporting this technique.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided axillary vein access versus cephalic venous cutdown for implantation of endovenous CIED.

Half of patients is implanted using an ultrasound-guided axillary vein puncture. The other half is implanted using a cephalic vein cutdown. After venous access is achieved, implantation procedure is identical in the two arms.

Intervention

Device:
• Ultrasound-guided axillary vein access
Venous access is performed through ultrasound-guided axillary vein puncture and Seldinger technique. After venous access is obtained, a guide-wire is advanced through the access needle, and the tip of the guide-wire is positioned in the right cardiac atrium.
• Cephalic vein access
Venous access is performed through a cephalic vein cutdown approach. After venous access is obtained, a guide-wire is advanced and the tip of the guide-wire is positioned in the right cardiac atrium.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Success of venous access	This outcome is measured by the operator during the intervention. It is the ability to successfully cannulate the vein and have all needed guidewire in the right atrium using the assigned venous access technique.; The outcome is a binary value: success or failure.	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	Time to venous access	Time from cutaneous incision to reach the right atrium with all needed guidewire using the assigned venous access technique	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	Procedure duration	Time from cutaneous incision to skin suture	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	Fluoroscopy time	Duration of fluoroscopy use during intervention	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	X-Ray exposure	X-ray exposure during intervention, measured in mGycm2	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	Complication	All implant related complications including brachial plexus palsy, major pocket hematoma (hematoma requiring evacuation or transfusion or prolonged hospitalization), pneumothorax, hemothorax, pericardial effusion, lead dislodgement, device infection, venous thrombosis.	Intervention time (day 0)
Secondary	Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) related infection	Local and systemic signs of CIED related infection will be monitored during follow-up. The definition and classification of CIED related infection are based on the current guideline and expert consensus statement.	Month 3
