3830 lead extraction from two patients with left bundle branch area pacing

Extraction of stylet‐driven pacing lead for left bundle branch area pacing

“…Some previous cases have reported successful extraction of leads implanted in LBBAP, but these reports are limited to the removal of the lumenless (LL) 3830 lead (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), which has specific features that differ from conventional bipolar pacing leads. 2 , 3 However, there is a growing use of SD leads for LABBP, associated with specifically designed delivery sheaths. 4 Compared with LL leads, SD leads may benefit from better support and stability during LBBAP implantation, but concerns may arise about long‐term extractability.…”
