Abstract
Laser-assisted intracardiac lead extraction is associated with a 1%–2% incidence of pericardial tamponade. Because of this risk, many of these procedures are being performed in an operating room with a cardiac surgeon immediately available. Transesophageal echocardiography is a useful intraoperativeThis publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
