    Author: Nguyen KT, Neese P, Kessler DJ.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2000 Aug; 23(8):1260-2. PubMed ID: 10962748.
    Abstract:
    A man with four endocardial pacemaker leads and two vegetations (1.5 cm and 1 cm) underwent successful percutaneous laser-assisted lead extraction. Although this procedure was complicated by embolization to a left pulmonary arterial branch, the patient recovered without sequelae. This article reviews the literature on lead extraction associated with large vegetations.
