Abstract

A 39-year-old male presented with an epicardial ICD system infection. He had
separate shock leads placed in posterior epicardium and subcutaneously, and a
transvenous pace-sense lead. A Tightrail sheath under direct visualisation
successfully extracted the pericardial lead and avoided the need for sternotomy. This is the first description of an epicardial shock lead extracted with a rotating mechanical
cutting tool.
