Bailout Technique for a Detached Distal Tip of a Tissue-Stabilization Sheath During Transvenous Lead Extraction
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a balloon-assisted pull-through technique for retrieving a detached distal tip of a tissue-stabilization sheath.
Utilization of the balloon-assisted pull-through technique
Focus on cases with distal ring detachment
Application during transvenous lead extraction procedures.
Demonstrates successful retrieval of the sheath tip
Indicates reliability of the technique in such cases
Suggests improved outcomes in transvenous lead extraction.
Abstract
The balloon-assisted pull-through technique is a useful retrieval strategy in cases of distal ring detachment of the Evolution Steady Sheath.
