“…Leads tunneled over the clavicle can cause patient discomfort or skin erosion. Tunneling the leads under the clavicle offers some protection against these complications but requires more surgical dissection 60 . For these reasons, the supraclavicular route is not as often used as the infraclavicular route for lead placement in clinical practice.…”

However, the supraclavicular route is a useful alternative when the infraclavicular one fails (usually due to venous stenosis or occlusion).…”

Recent developments in permanent pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy have focused on the endocardial placement sites of leads ("selective site pacing"), detection and pacing algorithms, and indications for device therapy. In comparison, the surgical and venous access aspects of device therapy have received relatively little attention. Obtaining central venous access is a prerequisite for delivering device therapy through transvenously placed leads. This article reviews the different techniques available for obtaining upper body venous access for transvenous lead placement, even though the information will also be relevant to other specialties that require central venous access for other purposes.
