ResumoAimsRecently, a mechanical single-sheath technique with a multiple venous entry-site approach for the removal of pacemaker and implantable defibrillator leads was reported to have a high success rate and few complications. In our institution, this technique of lead removal has been used since 2002. In this paper, we report our experience, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the proposed procedure.
