Author ProfileAbstract
Evolution RL sheath with its bidirectional rotational mechanism is an
effective and safe technique for transvenous lead extraction of
chronically implanted leads. However, data about powered mechanical
sheath through jugular vein are lacking. Our report suggest that
bidirectional rotational mechanical sheath may represent an effective
and safe approach for removal of chronically implanted jugular lead.Mar 2021Published in Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology volume 44 issue 3 on pages 557-558. 10.1111/pace.14160
