Abstract
The techniques of transvenous lead extraction have developed over the last ten years, allowing an high success rate [1–8]. Recently, recommendations, indications, facilities and training for extraction of chronically implanted transvenous pacing and defibrillator leads have been published from the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology Lead Extraction Conference Faculty [9]. However, the researches in this field are continuously growing to make it as safe as possible.
