Description
BackgroundTransvenous lead extraction (TLE) is the gold-standard treatment for cardiac implantable electronic device removal but carries a small risk of major complications, including superior vena cava (SVC) injury. The prompt use of endovascular occlusion devices can provide temporary haemostasis and haemodynamic stability in the rare event of SVC laceration.
