May support laser-assisted extraction in rare LV lead malpositions; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before broader adoption.
Case Report (n=1)
Excimer laser-based extraction of an accidentally left ventricular placed ICD lead is feasible and can be performed safely.
Bürger et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Accidentally left ventricular placed ICD lead (n=1). Excimer laser-based lead extraction was evaluated on Successful extraction of the malpositioned ICD lead. Excimer laser-based extraction of an accidentally left ventricular placed ICD lead was successfully performed without major complications.
