Abstract
A lead extraction protocol that included procedures done in an operating room environment allowing rapid, open intervention for bleeding, a varied choice of extraction tools, arterial line monitoring, transesophageal echocardiography, general anesthesia, and an experienced team yielded complete extraction in more than 90% of patients, with a low complication rate and no procedurally related deaths.
