Abstract :
In the last decade, the use of pacemakers and implantable
cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) has increased. Consequently,
the number of device- or procedure-related events requiring
system removal, such as lead failure or infection, has also in creased. In the literature, procedure-related complications involving loss, unsuccessful, or incomplete removal of intravascular objects have been described (1-3). However, loss of the
anchoring sleeve during pacemaker implantation is extremely
rare. In this paper, we report our experience of distal migration
of the anchoring sleeve during ICD implantations after lead extraction procedure
