Sponsor's own description
The study will include patients scheduled for transvenous pacemaker- or implantable defibrillator surgery, where venous access is necessary for lead implantation. A 1:1 randomization will be performed to either standard access (at the discretion of the surgeon) or ultrasound-guided using a wireless vascular transducer (Siemens Freestyle). Primary outcome is mean time to vascular access. In addition, success rate, complication rate and total procedure time will be measured.
