Is percutaneous extraction of coronary sinus leads safe and effective in patients requiring lead explantation?
Percutaneous extraction of coronary sinus leads is a safe and effective procedure, primarily achievable with manual traction, though laser extraction is occasionally required.
Shoaib Hamid (2008) conducted an observational in Patients requiring coronary sinus lead extraction (n=32). Percutaneous extraction of coronary sinus leads was evaluated on Major complications (CS laceration, pericardial effusion, emergency surgery, or death). Percutaneous extraction of coronary sinus leads was safe and effective, with 87.5% removed via manual traction and 12.5% requiring laser, resulting in 0% major complications.
