pubmed:abstractText |
The development of laser-assisted extraction techniques for chronically implanted pacemaker and defibrillator leads has reduced the need for open surgical removal. Reports of the mortality from laser-assisted extraction range from 1.9% to 3.4%. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of major cardiovascular injury and emphasize the need for cardiothoracic surgical participation in this procedure.
