Extraction of chronic pacing lead and angioplasty for complete superior baffle obstruction in complex congenital heart disease.
Laser lead extraction in adult patients with congenital heart disease is safe and effective. Baffle angioplasty for obstruction in patients with a Mustard procedure is well established. We describe a unique combined interventional and electrophysiological approach on a patient with superior baffle obstruction. This technique utilized the channel created after extracting the chronic pacing lead to cross the obstruction and stent angioplasty of the superior baffle.
