We reported a challenging transvenous lead extraction procedure for lead failure in a child with congenital heart disease. Our report demonstrates that the new hand‐powered bidirectional rotational Evolution RL (Cook Medical, USA ) mechanical extraction sheath is an effective and safe tool for the extraction of chronically implanted leads in children.
