Implication

Novel extraction method succeeded in one pediatric case; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

A paced child with outer coil fracture of a bipolar screw-in steroid eluting ventricular lead without insulation defect, loss of ventricular capture and unexpected increase in lead impedance in the bipolar VVIR pace configuration

Intervention

A previously unpublished method to retract the helix and the lead

Outcome

Successful retrieval of the fractured lead

Describes a novel extraction method for removing an active fixation ventricular pacing lead with impaired mechanical function due to fracture in a pediatric patient.
