Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of axillary versus cephalic venous access in the pacemakers and defibrillators implantation.

Half of participants will receive the implant via fluoroscopy guided axillary venous access and the other half will receive the implant via improved cephalic venous access.
