A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra) and a right ventricular (rv) lead due to bacteremia.Spectranetics lead locking devices (lld #2) were inserted into each lead to provide traction.Beginning with the rv lead, a spectranetics 11f tightrail rotating dilator sheath was used, advancing to the tip of the lead, and the lead came free.Approximately 2 minutes later, the patient''s blood pressure dropped, a pericardial effusion was detected in the region of the rv apex, and an rv perforation was suspected.Rescue efforts began, including pericardiocentesis, and 250 cc of blood was drained from the area, stabilizing the patient with no further intervention required.The procedure continued, extracting the ra lead successfully, and the patient survived the procedure.This report captures the lld #2 providing traction to the rv lead when a suspected perforation occurred, requiring intervention.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices in use during the procedure.
