Cite This Study
Sadek et al. (2015) conducted a review in Cardiovascular implantable electronic device leads requiring extraction. Transvenous lead extraction was evaluated. Transvenous lead extraction techniques, including alternative routes and preprocedural imaging, continue to evolve to improve procedural efficacy and reduce complication rates.
