Superior Vena Cava Echocardiography as a Screening Tool to Predict Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Lead Fibrosis

BACKGROUND: Currently there is no noninvasive imaging modality used to risk stratify patients requiring lead extractions. We report the novel use of superior vena cava (SVC) echocardiography to identify lead fibrosis and complex cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) lead extraction. With an a...
