Abstract

Aims In parallel with increasing implantation rates and patients' longer life expectancy, the need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) as a specialized procedure has shown a significant growth over years. Herein, we aimed to present our initial experience in TLE by using a novel TightRail (TM) Rotating Mechanical Dilator Sheath.
