Percutaneous lead extraction is considered a safe and effective procedure, although
published results derive primarily from cohort studies. The authors performed a systematic …

Based on the published results primarily from cohort studies, percutaneous lead extraction is
now considered a safe procedure and indications for its use have broadened from device …

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

Background: Extraction of cardiac implantable electric devices is an accepted procedure
when systems become infected or malfunction. However, there is an associated morbidity …

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate procedural outcomes of coronary sinus
(CS) lead extraction, focusing on predictors and need for mechanical dilatation (MD) in the …

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device and coronary sinus (CS) lead
extraction is required due to the occurrence of system infection, malfunction, or upgrade …

Aims Few data have been currently reported on the outcome of coronary sinus (CS) lead
removal, particularly using mechanical dilation (MD). We aimed to evaluate feasibility …

Background: High capture thresholds, decreased electrical sensing, and lead fractures
continue to be a problem in children undergoing transvenous pacing. The clinician must …

Aims Coronary sinus (CS) lead implantation is a technically challenging procedure owing to
variable vein anatomies and a high dislocation rate. Therefore, CS lead technology has …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an accepted treatment for heart failure but it may
be necessary to explant these systems along with their leads. The evidence base for …
