Transvenous lead extraction is safe and feasible for pacemaker leads in the left heart for extended periods. This case report highlights successful removal of a 17-year-old malpositioned lead during device infection.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Devices
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is crucial for managing cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) complications.
- Limited data exists on TLE of leads with long-term malposition in the left heart, especially during infection.
