Why the study?
Does a mechanical single-sheath technique safely and effectively remove pacing and implantable defibrillator leads in patients with HRS indications for extraction?
Does a mechanical single-sheath technique safely and effectively remove pacing and implantable defibrillator leads in patients with HRS indications for extraction?
A mechanical single-sheath technique for transvenous lead extraction is highly effective and safe, achieving a 96.9% complete removal rate with very low major complications.
