  • Title: Coronary Sinus Lead Extraction.
    Author: Cronin EM, Wilkoff BL.
    Journal: Heart Fail Clin; 2017 Jan; 13(1):105-115. PubMed ID: 27886917.
    Abstract:
    Expanded indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy and the increasing incidence of cardiac implantable electronic device infection have led to an increased need for coronary sinus (CS) lead extraction. The CS presents unique anatomical obstacles to successful lead extraction. Training and facility requirements for CS lead extraction should mirror those for other leads. Here we review the indications, technique, and results of CS lead extraction. Published success rates and complications are similar to those reported for other leads, although multiple techniques may be required. Re-implantation options may be limited, which should be incorporated into pre-procedural decision making.
