Safety and feasibility of trans‐venous cardiac device extraction using conscious sedation alone—Implications for the post‐COVID‐19 era

Abstract Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) for implantable cardiac‐devices is traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA). This can lead to greater risk of exposure to COVID‐19, longer recovery‐times and increased procedural‐costs. We report the feasibility/safety of TLE using c...
