Lead extraction, extension of the lead management summit (Part II)
State of the art in lead extraction techniques
session organised by Cardiostim
Chairpersons: J. Kautzner (Prague, CZ); J. Winter (dusseldorf, dE)
Clinical Practice
The goal of these two sessions is to present the latest indications for lead extraction in part I and the
techniques to achieve safe and successful procedures in Part II. These sessions are case-based and the
participation of the audience is highly requested. Each presenter will divide their time equally between
presenting one case that raises a particular topic and then gives a brief presentation of the topic raised
in the care of that particular patient.
