As the number of transvenous lead extractions continues to increase, preprocedural protocols for this procedure must be assessed. The objective of this study was to determine whether an electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered computed tomography (Et-CT) with three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions could aid lead extractors in choosing the optimal tools to improve procedural success and avoid complications.
