Description: In case of pacemaker implantation, axillary vein puncture remains a less common technique in both domestic and foreign institutions. In our article, we present the implementation of this method in a center where there was no prior experience with it. During our study, dividing the patients into two groups, we retrospectively compared the success and complication rates of subclavian and axillary punctures. Based on our results, introducing the electrode through the axillary vein is equally effective and safer than subclavian puncture. It can be easily mastered even without specific training by an electrophysiologist experienced in subclavian vein cannulation.
