Lead management case to extract two non-functional cardiac leads.The physician prepped the 4024 with an lld #2 and attempted removal using a 12f glidelight but after progress installed an 11f tightrail was attempted.Unable to make progress the physician attempted to extract the 4524 lead by prepping with another lld and interchanging the glidelight and tightrail sheaths.Slight progress was made on this lead allowing the physician to insert two wires for lead re-implantation.At this time the physician decided not to continue the extraction leaving the llds cut and capped inside of the lead.No adverse effect has been experienced by the patient.The other lld will be reported under mdr #1721279-2015-00190.
