Abstract：Objective To discuss the feasible and safety of implantation of coronary sinus electrode or endocardial electrode via axillary vein puncture. Methods The patients (n=216) with electrophysiological examination indications, pacemakers and ICD implantation indications were divided into experimental group and control group, and respectively implanted coronary sinus electrode or endocardial electrode via axillary vein puncture and subclavian vein puncture. The success rate and complications were compared between 2 puncture approaches. Results The success rate was 97.3%(109/112) in experimental group and 95.2%(99/104) in control group. The incidence of complication was 9.8% (11/112) in experimental group and 8.7% (9/104) in control group (all P>0.05). There were 3 cases of pneumothorax in control group and no in experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion The implantation of coronary sinus electrode or endocardial electrode via axillary vein puncture is safe and feasible.
