Background: Long-term data on lead complication rates are limited for both the axillary and subclavian venous approaches for permanent pacemaker implantation. Methods and Results: We conducted a single-center, retrospective, nonrandomized comparison. We reviewed the patients who had consented to receiving a permanent pacemaker implant. A superficial landmark or radiographic contrast guiding was used for the axillary venous approach, whereas conventional landmarks were used for the subclavian venous approach. From January 1992 to December 2005, we analyzed 1,161 permanent pacemaker leads in 655 patients [subclavian venous approach (group I: 338 patients, 542 leads) and axillary venous approach (group II: 317 patients, 619 leads)]. Baseline characteristics of the patients did not differ. However, DDD-pacemakers and atrial leads were used more often in group II than in group I (94% vs. 62% and 49% vs. 40%, P<0.01). During the 8-year follow-up, lead complication rates were lower in group II (17 leads, 3%) than in group I (31 leads, 6%) (P=0.03), and group II had a better complication-free survival curve than group I with a 49% relative risk reduction in lead complication rates (hazard ratio =0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.27–0.94; P=0.03). Conclusions: The axillary venous approach for permanent pacemaker implantation has better long-term efficacy and lower lead complication rates than the subclavian venous approach.

The clinical outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis is not fully understood. We sought to assess the outcomes of patients with acute MI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected LMCA stenosis. A total of 587 patients enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry with LMCA stenosis were analyzed. Patients with culprit LMCA had higher inhospital mortality than patients with non-culprit LMCA (16.0% versus 8.9%, P = 0.008), but had similar clinical outcomes during a 12-month follow-up. Compared to CABG, PCI using drug-eluting stents (DES) was more frequently performed with similar early and 12-month clinical outcomes. The efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stents, paclitaxel-eluting stents, and zotarolimus-eluting stents were comparable at 12-month clinical follow-up. Predictors of 12-month mortality included mechanical ventilation, cardiogenic shock, age > 65 years, and ejection fraction < 40%. Patients with acute MI and culprit LMCA have higher early mortality than patients with non-culprit LMCA. PCI with DES is frequently performed and the clinical outcome is similar between the 3 types of first-generation DES.
