TY - JOUR T1 - A novel approach to determining the cause of pacemaker lead failure JF - Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO - Cleve Clin J Med SP - 91 LP - 92 VL - 59 IS - 1 AU - George K. Brodell AU - Bruce L. Wilkoff Y1 - 1992/01/01 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/59/1/91.abstract N2 - 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. ER -
