Abstract
A transfemoral angiographic technique was used to remove a chronically implanted, infected pacemaker wire that could not be withdrawn by using direct traction. The case and a description of the technique are detailed, and the principles of nonsurgical extraction of chronically implanted pacemaker wires are discussed.Mesh:
