A new technique for treating the exposed cardiac pacemaker wires in the supraclavicular region.
Exposure of pacemaker wires has become a common challenge in plastic surgery. Suggested techinques for dealing with this problem include removal and reintroduction of the entire pacemaker system or coverage with local flaps. We propose a new technique, which in addition to local flap coverage, eliminates the problem future pressure necrosis by placing the wires in the clavicle rather than about it.
