“…termination of the procedure. 11 The authors conclude that TEE provided clinically useful information in 16% of their TLE cases in the series, noting that TEE provides valuable real time information, improving efficacy and safety. As well our study continues to demonstrate the role of intraoperative TEE in the detection and management of complications.…”

“…In our patient, the connecting tissue surrounding the proximal lead ending was very strong, and as with the first one, it was the distal part of the lead that was obtained, which was the cause of atypical extraction with surprising result. Several studies have demonstrated the usefulness of ECHO examination in the diagnosis of infection and complications during lead extraction [8][9][10]. However, to the best of our knowledge, ours is the first case in which TEE examination alone revealed an 'invisible structure' which was successfully removed through the joint efforts of an electrophysiolgist, interventional radiologist, and cardiologist with ECHO examination experience.…”

“…Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is the first‐line technique for the treatment of complications . TLE is considered a safe tool, as the risk of major complications and death has been reported to range from 0.4% to 3.4% and from 0.00% to 1.86%, respectively . Despite the high efficacy of TLE its complications may place patients at risk.…”
