Abstract

We present the first reported case of extraction of a ventricular lead placed in the left bundle branch area with a double-loop design snare via the femoral approach without any complication. It was a 4-month-old lead whose extraction was not possible only with a conventional stylet via an implant vein approach, so we want to show that complete procedural success is possible.
