Bidirectional rotational mechanical sheath is an effective and safe technique for transvenous lead extraction of chronically implanted leads. However, data about powered mechanical sheath through jugular vein are lacking. Our report demonstrated that bidirectional rotational mechanical sheath represents an effective and safe approach for removal of chronically implanted jugular leads.
