Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is a complex invasive procedure and the
experience of the operator and the team is a major determinant of procedural outcomes. Aim …

Every tenth patient with a cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
implanted is expected to have at least one lead problem in his lifetime. However …

Cardiac Pacing and ICDs, 6e is the ideal resource for clinicians who need an accessible,
clinically-focused guide to cardiac pacemakers, ICDs and CRTs. Completely updated, and …

Objective Arterial cannulation is a vital component of endovascular interventions and often
unconventional access approaches are required due to disease complexity. Historically …

Background/Objective: Active fixation coronary sinus (CS) leads limit dislodgement and
represent an attractive option to the implanter. Although extraction of passive fixation CS …

With increasing coronary sinus (CS) pacemaker leads for cardiac resynchronization therapy,
the need to remove these leads has risen. The purpose of this study is to describe a single …

LV Lead Extraction and Reimplantation. Background: Early series of biventricular device
removal have contained mostly younger cardiac venous (CV) left ventricular leads and few …

Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) may be performed by superior approach
using the original implant vein or via a femoral approach; however, limited comparative data …

Aims Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) may be necessary due to system infection/erosion
or lead malfunction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) patients undergoing TLE may …

Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) in patients with implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices is considered as …
