Abstract

Objective: Pacemaker or ICD lead removal without technical support is impossible in patients with lead dysfunction more than ten years after lead implantation. Mechanical lead extraction in these patients carries a risk for major bleeding complications. In this retrospective analysis we analysed the risk of laser lead extraction using the excimer laser in patients with >10 yo leads.
