Key result
Transvenous lead extraction using the Evolution Mechanical Dilator Sheath achieved complete procedural success in 87.9% of patients and overall clinical success in 98.5%.
Why the study?
Does the Evolution mechanical dilator sheath safely and effectively extract chronically implanted pacemaker and ICD leads in patients requiring lead extraction?
Observational (n=66)
Does the Evolution mechanical dilator sheath safely and effectively extract chronically implanted pacemaker and ICD leads in patients requiring lead extraction?
The Evolution mechanical dilator sheath is an effective and safe tool for the transvenous extraction of chronically implanted pacemaker and ICD leads, achieving a 98.5% overall clinical success rate with low major complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Single-center TLE experience with Evolution sheath supports procedural feasibility; leaves open need for randomized comparisons.
Oto et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Pacemaker and ICD lead extraction (n=66). Evolution Mechanical Dilator Sheath was evaluated on Complete procedural success. Transvenous lead extraction using the Evolution Mechanical Dilator Sheath achieved complete procedural success in 87.9% of patients and overall clinical success in 98.5%.
