Pacemakers are implanted through the subclavian vein to the right side of the heart. In rare cases, pacemakers may be inserted into the left ventricle via the subclavian artery, carrying a risk of thromboembolism. This is a case of a pacemaker inserted via the subclavian artery into the left ventricle.
