Effect of Venous Tenting Puncture Technique on Complications in Cardiac Device Implantation via Axillary Access.
Observational study in Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAxillary vein puncture (AVP) is an effective technique in cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. This study evaluates the venous tenting (VnT) technique as a novel method and compares its effectiveness to contrast venography (CV) in reducing early and late complications.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter study included 464 patients who underwent CIED implantation using VnT or CV techniques. Patients were matched 1:1 and divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 232) included those who underwent VnT, and Group 2 (n = 232) included those who underwent CV. Early complications, including pneumothorax (PTX), pocket hematoma (PH), and pocket infection (PI), were collectively defined as total complications (TC). Late complications were defined as device lead integrity (DLI). Independent predictors of complications were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe TC rate was 5.2%. VnT significantly reduced PH rates (0.9% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.019) and TC rates (2.2% vs. 8.19%, p = 0.003) compared to CV. No significant differences were observed between the groups in PTX, PI, or DLI rates. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified VnT as an independent protective factor for both TC (p = 0.009) and PH (p = 0.022).
conclusionsDuring CIED implantation, the VnT technique was associated with lower TC and PH than the CV technique. This study highlights the potential of VnT to improve outcomes. Further prospective studies are recommended to confirm these findings.
