Inadvertently placed endocardial leads in the left ventricle can be safely managed with surgical or percutaneous extraction, avoiding potentially serious sequelae.
Rodriguez et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Inadvertently placed endocardial leads in the left ventricle (n=6). Surgical or percutaneous lead removal was evaluated on Complete extraction or repositioning without intraoperative complications or mortality within 30 days. Surgical or percutaneous removal of inadvertently placed left ventricular leads was completely successful in all 6 patients, with no intraoperative complications or 30-day mortality.
