A case of successful lead extraction of atrial and ventricular pacing leads “jailed” by a stent in the superior limb of a Mustard baffle in a 40‐year‐old man with surgically corrected transposition of the great arteries and pacemaker pocket infection. Manual traction alone was sufficient to remove the jailed leads with no subsequent complications. (PACE 2010; e65–e67)
