X marks the spot: catheter aspiration using the Inari FlowTriever device to debulk defibrillator lead vegetations prior to transvenous lead extraction-a case report.

This case demonstrates the safe and effective use of the Inari Medical 24Fr FlowTriever aspiration catheter in debulking a defibrillator lead before transvenous lead extraction. This method uses a single venous puncture and is not dependent on extracorporeal bypass. Apart from reducing complexity, this technique may be advantageous in patients where anticoagulation needs to be minimised.
