Key result
Percutaneous removal of an inadvertent LV pacemaker lead using Sentinel cerebral protection succeeds without complications.
Why the study?
Inadvertent pacemaker lead misplacement in the left ventricle can cause thromboembolic events, valvular damage, and endocarditis.

The use of a cerebral protection system during percutaneous removal of an inadvertently placed left ventricular pacemaker lead may be a safe approach to mitigate stroke risk.
Kewcharoen et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Inadvertently placed transarterial pacemaker lead in the left ventricle (n=1). Percutaneous lead removal with Sentinel Cerebral Protection System was evaluated on Procedural success and complications. Percutaneous removal of an inadvertently placed transarterial pacemaker lead in the left ventricle using the Sentinel Cerebral Protection System was performed successfully without complications.
