A member asked:
St jude riata lead fractured should only an ep with lead extraction experience do it or my cardiologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk with EP: Sometimes the fractured lead is left in place and a new lead put in. Lead extraction can be very difficult and should only be done by experienced ep cardiologists.
