Axillary vein puncture guided by ultrasound, using a readily learned technique, was superior to cephalic vein dissection via cut-down for implantation of cardiac device leads in a small, multicenter, ...

Axillary vein access has emerged as a safe and efficient alternative for cardiac device implantation. By utilising the anatomical course of the axillary vein, clinicians can facilitate the insertion ...

The SAVES method is an effective and safe approach for ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary/subclavian vein cannulation. Cannulation is a procedure of inserting a flexible tube (catheter) into ...
