Supports feasibility of percutaneous extraction for rare arterial lead misplacement; leaves open standardized protocols and safety data.
Yoshimoto et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Misplacement of pacemaker leads into the left coronary artery and left ventricle (n=1). Percutaneous lead extraction was evaluated on Successful extraction of malpositioned leads. Percutaneous lead extraction by a multidisciplinary approach was effective and safe for removing pacemaker leads inadvertently misplaced into the left coronary artery and left ventricle.
