A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra), a right ventricular (rv) and a left ventricular (lv) lead due to needing a system upgrade.Spectranetics lead locking devices (llds) were inserted into each lead to provide traction.Using a spectranetics 14f glidelight laser sheath, the physician removed the ra, the rv, and lastly the lv lead without apparent issues.During the lead extraction procedure, the patient's hemodynamics did not change.Ten to fifteen minutes after the procedure, the physician began to re-implant the upgraded system.At that time, the patient's blood pressure dropped.A sternotomy was performed and a coronary sinus perforation was discovered.The repair was successful and the patient survived the procedure.This report captures the lld providing traction to the lv lead when a coronary sinus perforation occurred, requiring intervention.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices in use during the procedure.
