title: [Pacemaker dependant and/or repetitive ICD therapies. How to solve the dilemma of lead extraction?].
abstract: Bridging pacemaker-dependent patients or patients with repetitive ICD therapies after device and lead extraction is often challenging. Temporary pacing by means of an active fixation lead connected to an external reusable permanent pacemaker, or of a subxiphoidally implanted pacemaker with an epicardial lead is a safe option for bridging pacemaker-dependent patients after device and lead explantation. The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD; LifeVest(®)) is a safe and effective tool for patients who need a continuous monitoring and ICD backup after device explantation.
