Abstract
Subclavian crush syndrome is a well-described cause of pacemaker lead failu re resulting from an entrapment of a lead or leads between the clavicle and the first rib. A new thinner lead (ThinLine(TM)) was designed to minimize this complication. Our patient developed atrial and ventricular lead subcla vian crush syndrome with both conventional and thin leads.
