CHAN, N.‐Y., et al. : Venospasm in Contrast Venography‐Guided Axillary Vein Puncture for Pacemaker Lead Implantation.Venospasm is a recognized complication in right heart catheterization and the reported incidence is 2%. Contrast venography guided axillary vein puncture was a recently described technique for pacemaker lead implantation. This report describes a case of venospasm of the axillary vein during pacemaker implantation. (PACE 2003; 26[Pt. I]:112–113)
