A case of successful laser extraction of a defibrillator lead with baffle stenting in a 15‐year‐old boy with dextrocardia, L‐transposition, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonic stenosis status‐post Senning/Rastelli repair is presented. Six‐month follow‐up revealed a significant increase in exercise tolerance and maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max)
