ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 50-year-old patient with DDD pacing failure who underwent atrial lead extraction. The lead was implanted 15 years ago, and 4 months ago it dislodged into the subclavian vein following a fracture. The lead was removed via the femoral vein approach using a Cook Medical device (Byrd Femoral Workstation, Dotter basket) and pigtail catheter.
