First experience in quadripolar active fixation coronary sinus lead extraction: a case report.

We present the first case of extraction of a chronically implanted active fixation Attain Stability Quadripolar lead. Our experience demonstrates that this has been performed successfully without specialist tools and with preservation of the CS branch. Significant adhesion was noted at the site of active fixation, however. Potential difficulty with this lead's extraction should therefore be considered when contemplating its use.
