Transvenous extraction of advisory implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads with a relatively long implant duration

摘要

Background: Optimal management of advisory implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads has not been established. Several studies were reported concerning the lead extraction of advisory ICD leads, but the implant duration of those studies was short. We estimated the efficacy of lead extractions of advisory ICD leads with a relatively longer duration in Japanese patients.
