Technical Features and Clinical Outcomes of Coronary Venous Left Ventricular Lead Removal and Reimplantation

CONCLUSIONS: CV lead removal is relatively successful and safe. The presence of local infection and a shorter lead duration may enable successful ST of a CV lead. However, the re-implantation procedure should be well prepared for the complexity related to the right-side approach and occlusion/stenosis of the previous CV.PMID:33814523 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-20-1199
