Novel Use of a Rotating Mechanical Dilator Sheath for S-ICD Lead Extraction

A 53-year-old man with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) presented with inappropriate shocks. He underwent device extraction, and the lead was freed using a rotating mechanical dilator sheath. As patients with S-ICDs get older, extractions will become more complicated and...

Descripción
Sumario:A 53-year-old man with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) presented with inappropriate shocks. He underwent device extraction, and the lead was freed using a rotating mechanical dilator sheath. As patients with S-ICDs get older, extractions will become more complicated and more common. We have described a novel method of S-ICD lead extraction. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
