Abstract
A telectronics 330-801 atrial active fixation lead with multiple J ret ention wire fractures was extracted. Separation of the distal electrod e occurred due to antecedent inner conductor fracture between the endo cardial electrode pair. Techniques for removal of the free distal elec trode are described, including use of biopsy forceps and a snare.
