May warrant TCEP consideration during malpositioned LV lead extraction; leaves open need for prospective validation before broader adoption.
Transcatheter cerebral embolic protection can be utilized for procedure-related stroke protection during the extraction of malpositioned left ventricular pacing leads.
Thosani et al. (2019) studied this question. Transcatheter cerebral embolic protection was utilized for stroke protection during the extraction of a malpositioned left ventricular pacing lead in a patient with prior embolic strokes.
