    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1992 Mar; 45(3):227-9. PubMed ID: 1552677.
    Abstract:
    A new technique for effective removal of chronic transvenous pacemaker lead was developed to address the need for explantation of eroded and infected lead (Lead Removal Kit, Cook Pacemaker Corporation). This Kit consists of a stylet for locking at the distal tip of the lead and a sheath for separating adhering fibrous tissue. Successful removal of 3 leads in 2 patients using this kit was reported.
