ABSTRACT
Ultrasound (US) guidance has been shown to be a safe and effective option for gaining access to the axillary vein during implantation of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, US-based technique has not been universally adopted in CIED implantations performed in cardiac electrophysiology (EP) laboratories, despite potential advantages over other vascular access techniques. For this reason, not all cardiac electrophysiologists have been trained to use US guidance during CIED implantation. This review is intended to provide a practical guide to the use of US guidance to obtain axillary vein access in the EP laboratory setting.
