"4296","Lead Extraction: \"Drag Through\" Technique","The goal of extraction techniques of chronic pacemaker and defibrillator leads is to present an approach that is successful in extracting all leads and minimizes or eliminates complications. To extract a chronically implanted intravascular device, the device must be separated from the encapsulating inflammatory tissue. Three ablation techniques are currently used: mechanical, laser and electrosurgical.","http://cogprints.org/4296/","Gupta, Anoop K.","Singh, Balbir and Lokhandwala, Yash and Francis, Johnson and Gupta, Anup"," Gupta, Anoop K.
