Abstract

Combined ultrasound (US)-guided pectoral nerves (PECS) block and axillary vein (AV) puncture for cardiac implantable electronic devices can be effective to achieve optimal perioperative pain management and prevent access-related complications.A total of 36 patients who underwent combined US-guided PECS block and AV puncture were included. All routinely recorded parameters, including clinical and demographic characteristics, periprocedural medical administrations, the time taken for both PECS block and AV puncture, procedure time, postprocedural pain score, and procedure-related complications, were collected and analyzed.In total, 54 leads were placed in 36 patients. The combined US-guided PECS block and AV puncture was performed successfully in 35 (97.2%) patients without the need for fluoroscopy or venography. AV access for each lead was achieved in a single attempt in 80.6% of cases. The time for both PECS block and AV puncture was 223.6 ± 52.1 s, including the time to apply incision site anesthesia. Additional sedatives and/or local anesthetics were required in two patients during procedure. Visual analog scale average of the patients in the 1st, 6th, and 24th h was 3.7 ± 1.14. 1.61 ± 1.29, and 0.08 ± 0.28, respectively. After the procedure, four patients (three of them woman) needed analgesics. There were no venous access-related complications.This new combined technique maintains both surgical and postoperative analgesia and prevents vascular access-related complications without significant increase on procedure time.
