Structured PICO

Is nonsurgical extraction of coronary sinus leads safe and successful in patients with biventricular devices?

Population

14 patients with a biventricular device undergoing coronary sinus (CS) lead extraction (out of 149 referred for pacemaker lead extraction). Indications included infection, lead malfunction, and exit block. Duration of CS lead implants ranged from 2 to 43 months (mean 17 months).

Intervention

Nonsurgical lead extraction of coronary sinus (CS) leads

Outcome

Procedural success and safety of CS lead extractionsafety

Nonsurgical extraction of coronary sinus leads appears safe and highly successful, with no major complications observed in this initial small cohort.

Limitations

Small cohort of patients
