Improving Safety of Lead Extraction Procedures by Traction Force Sensing

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this first prospective study is to evaluate force vectors during lead extraction procedures. While the patient and the physicians are aware of the procedure assignments (open label), outcome assessors and statisticians are blinded to the outcomes. Knowledge from this perspective study may ultimately improve patient care; enhance our academic standing, and improve educational satisfaction of our trainees.
