Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Indwelling pacemaker or defibrillator leads are often extracted with use of a cutting laser sheath. We report embolization of a tined pacemaker lead tip into the azygous vein, with the use of a distal embolization protection device to retrieve the fragment. Creative and non-traditional use of a filter-based device may assist in retrieval of embolized material. |
