Key result
Surgical dissection and simple traction successfully extract an inadvertent LV pacemaker lead without complications.
Why the study?
Inadvertent pacemaker lead implantation from subclavian or axillary arteries into the left ventricle is rarely reported and associated with frequent thromboembolic complications, making lead extraction challenging.
Population
An 87-year-old man with involuntary pacemaker lead implantation into the left ventricle via the left subclavian artery
Design

Alerts clinicians to rare arterial LV lead malposition and extraction risks; leaves open optimal management strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous lead extraction using surgical dissection is a viable therapeutic option for inadvertent left ventricular lead implantation via the subclavian artery with a dwell time of less than one year.
Strubé et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Inadvertent pacemaker lead implantation in the left ventricle (n=1). Lead extraction with surgical dissection and simple traction was evaluated on Complications during extraction. Lead extraction using surgical dissection and simple traction was performed without complication in an 87-year-old man with an inadvertent left ventricular pacemaker lead.
