A case of pacemaker lead dysfunction with subsequent removal by a unique transvenous extraction system is presented. This technique allows detailed examination of the extracted pacemaker lead and identification of unsuspected causes of lead failure. Information relative to specific causes of lead failure may result in lead design improvements.
