Prevention of Venous Obstruction After Implantation of Cardiac Pacemaker and Defibrillator

October 28, 2015 updated by: Mohammad Ali Akbarzadeh, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences

Effect of Aspirin and Clopidogrel in Prevention of Venous Obstruction After Implantation of Cardiac Pacemaker and Defibrillator

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Aspirin or Clopidogrel are effective in the prevention of venous obstruction after implantation of cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

There are growing numbers of endocardial permanent pacemakers (PPM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. Asymptomatic obstruction of the access vein reported to have a high incidence (30-50%) in some studies. This complication can cause some difficulties in follow up procedures such as device upgrading. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Aspirin or Clopidogrel are effective in the prevention of venous obstruction after implantation of cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator.
