Key result
An eight-year-old left ventricular pacemaker lead was successfully extracted percutaneously using an embolic protection system without complications in a patient with a pacemaker pocket infection.

Percutaneous extraction of old, accidentally implanted left ventricular leads is feasible and may be facilitated by cerebral embolic protection and transesophageal echocardiography.
Kutarski et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Incorrect left ventricular pacemaker lead implantation with pocket infection (n=1). Percutaneous transvenous lead extraction with embolic protection was evaluated on Successful lead extraction. An eight-year-old left ventricular pacemaker lead was successfully extracted percutaneously using an embolic protection system without complications in a patient with a pacemaker pocket infection.
