PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:, Tachybrady syndrome.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:, Tachybrady syndrome.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE:, Insertion of transvenous pacemaker.,ANESTHESIA:, Local,PROCEDURE AND GROSS FINDINGS:, The patient's chest was prepped with Betadine solution and a small amount of Lidocaine infiltrated.  In the left subclavian region, a subclavian stick was performed without difficulty, and a wire was inserted. Fluoroscopy confirmed the presence of the wire in the superior vena cava.  An introducer was then placed over the wire.  The wire was removed and replace by a ventricular lead that was seated under Fluoroscopy. Following calibration, the lead was attached to a pacemaker generator that was inserted in a subcutaneous pocket in the left subclavian area.  ,The subcutaneous tissues were irrigated and closed with Interrupted 4-O Vicryl, and the skin was closed with staples.  Sterile dressings were placed, and the patient was returned to the ICU in good condition.cardiovascular / pulmonary, insertion of transvenous pacemaker, fluoroscopy, tachybrady, tachybrady syndrome, chest, pacemaker, subclavian, subcutaneous, superior vena cava, syndrome, transvenous pacemaker, wire, insertion,
