A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra) lead due to non-function.A spectranetics lld #2 lead locking device (lld #2) was inserted into the lead to provide traction.Using multiple spectranetics devices (glidelight laser sheath, tightrail sub-c rotating dilator sheath, and tightrail (long) rotating dilator sheath) attempts were made to remove the ra lead, but were unsuccessful.Therefore, the decision was made to abandon the procedure, and the remaining ra lead, along with the lld #2, were cut/capped and remained in the patient.There was no attempt made to unlock the lld #2.The patient survived the procedure.This report captures the lld #2 within the ra lead, which was cut/capped and remained in the patient.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices in use during the procedure.
