Hybrid minimally invasive technique with the bidirectional rotational Evolution(®) mechanical sheath for transvenous lead extraction: A collaboration between electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons

We report a case of a 63‐year‐old man referred for lead extraction with the bidirectional rotational Evolution(®) RL mechanical sheath because of systemic infection. As it was judged a “high‐risk” procedure, we opted for a “hybrid,” minimally invasive approach consisting in a minithoracotomic access...

Sumario:We report a case of a 63‐year‐old man referred for lead extraction with the bidirectional rotational Evolution(®) RL mechanical sheath because of systemic infection. As it was judged a “high‐risk” procedure, we opted for a “hybrid,” minimally invasive approach consisting in a minithoracotomic access. This technique is a feasible approach, and it might be a potential safer alternative in the most challenging transvenous lead extraction procedures.
