Can the left subclavian artery revascularization during aortic arch surgery be managed using the in situ left internal mammary artery?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Transvenous lead extraction using mechanical rotational- or laser sheaths is an established procedure. Lead dwell time has been recognized as a risk factor for extraction failure and procedure-related complications. We therefore investigated the safety and efficacy of transvenous extraction of leads with an ...
