Extraction of pacing leads jailed by a stent in a mustard circulation.
A case of successful lead extraction of atrial and ventricular pacing leads "jailed" by a stent in the superior limb of a Mustard baffle in a 40-year-old man with surgically corrected transposition of the great arteries and pacemaker pocket infection. Manual traction alone was sufficient to remove the jailed leads with no subsequent complications.
