Pacemaker lead extractors must become familiar with transfemoral approaches for lead extraction as a bail-out procedure for a failed superior approach. We presented a "tetra-axial" system for transfemoral lead extraction. This system would be more widely applicable in cases with difficulties in extraction, resulting in more procedural success.
