ABSTRACT
Transvenous traction for the removal of retained pacemaker electrodes is common practice with few reported complications. This case reports a patient with a DDD pacemaker with extruded electrodes, who died of a myocardial rupture at the atrial lead site after prolonged (i.e., after 24 hours) traction was applied.
