Transiliac Vein Approach to a Permanent Pacemaker Implantation After Aortic Valve Reoperation

Abstract

This article describes the case of a 71-year-old woman in whom a permanent pacemaker implantation was performed through an iliac vein because of superior vena cava obstruction after aortic valve reoperation. During a 6-month follow-up, the patient did well and the pacemaker performance was satisfactory.
