| Popis: | Using a percutaneous femoral vein approach under fluoroscopic control, a malpositioned ventricular pacemaker electrode was released from the right ventricular vvall by hooking the lead with a deflecting wire inserted into a RIM catheter. A closed loop was formed by tightening the handle of the wire allowing the electrode to be dislodged and pulled into the inferior vena cava. The electrode was then snared using a loop formed hy an exchange wire advanced through an 8 French catheter with a J-curve steamed at its tip. The electrode was advanced to the right ventricular apex and released by advancing one end of the snare wire while pulling the other end to open the loop. |
