A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right ventricular (rv) and right atrial (ra) lead due to cied system/pocket infection.Cook medical liberator tip locking stylets were inserted into each lead to provide traction.A spectranetics 14f glidelight laser sheath was used back and forth on the ra and rv lead due to severe lead adhesion.At that time, a pericardial effusion was detected, the patient¿s blood pressure dropped, and rescue efforts began, including thoracotomy.A superior vena cava (svc) perforation was discovered and repaired; however, the rv and ra leads remained in the patient.The patient survived the procedure.This report captures the 14f glidelight in use when the perforation occurred, requiring intervention.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics device in use during the procedure.
