Percutaneous lead extraction and venous recanalisation using spectranetics tight rail: A single centre experience

摘要

AimsDespite advances in lead extraction tools, percutaneous lead extraction remains a complex procedure associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Moreover, no standards or directives exist to guide physicians in the choice of their extraction tool or approach and all operators tend to have their own preferred method. The reporting of outcomes with existing and newly emerging extraction technology is therefore encouraged.
