Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Device Technology

Context:

  • Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead extraction indications have expanded beyond infection.
  • Lead extraction is challenging due to scar tissue and lead tip impaction.

Purpose:

  • To describe advanced percutaneous lead extraction techniques.
  • To highlight the safety and efficacy of these methods in expert centers.

Summary:

  • Developed techniques include superior approach with locking stylets and laser-assisted sheaths, and femoral approach with double lasso catheters.
  • Laser-assisted sheaths simplify extraction and reduce complications.
  • Femoral approach serves as an alternative to superior approach failure.

Impact:
