A Unique Pacemaker Complication of Thrombus Formation in the Right Internal Jugular Vein Due to Unusual Migration of an Atrial Pacemaker Electrode
04/23/2012
Thomas S. Faber, MD; Andreas Grom, MD; Manfred Zehender, MD
ABSTRACT: Our report describes the late migration of an atrial screw-in lead into the right internal jugular vein causing subsequent subclinical thrombus formation at the tip of the electrode. Previously initiated anticoagulation for atrial...
