Implication

Supports adjunctive IVC access for failed SVC extraction; leaves open safety and efficacy in larger prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does intravascular lead extraction using locking stylets and sheaths safely and effectively remove chronic transvenous leads?

Population

62 patients (mean age 65 years) requiring removal of 115 chronic transvenous leads (implanted 5 days to 264 months, mean 58 months) due to septicemia, subcutaneous tissue infection, preerosion, free-floating lead, lead trapped in valve, too many leads, pain, and vein thrombosis.

Intervention

Intravascular lead extraction using locking stylets and sheaths (intravascular countertraction techniques) via superior vena cava (SVC) or inferior vena cava (IVC) approach.

Outcome

Success rate of lead extraction via SVC or IVC approaches.

Intravascular countertraction techniques using locking stylets and sheaths via SVC or IVC approaches are safe and effective for the extraction of chronic transvenous leads.
