Innovation in Lead Extraction: Moving Beyond the Tools of Today

Innovation Stage
September 05, 2025 | 02:00 PM (EDT) - 02:45 PM (EDT)

Lead extraction is an important treatment option for many patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices. While outcomes with lead extraction have improved over time, the tools used for lead extraction have remained relatively unchanged over the past 10+ years. There are now a variety of technologies in development that approach lead extraction through a fundamentally different approach. This discussion will focus on the unmet needs in lead management and how new developments and technologies may improve extraction procedures, subsequent outcomes, and perhaps even patient access.
