Event Description

A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right ventricular (rv) lead due to malfunction.Functioning right atrial (ra) and left ventricular (lv) leads were present in the patient as well, not targeted for extraction.A spectranetics lead locking device (lld) was inserted into the rv lead to provide traction.Multiple spectranetics devices (13f tightrail guardian motorized dilator sheath, 16f glidelight laser sheath, and 13f tightrail rotating dilator sheath (long)) were used during the procedure.While the 13f tightrail long was being used and while significant traction was being applied, the rv lead and lld separated.The physician then removed the rv lead/lld remnants through the femoral vein using a snare.The procedure was completed with no reported patient harm.This event captures the lld which separated along with the rv lead, requiring intervention.
