[Multicenter study of the results of the extraction of transvenously implanted heart-pacemaker electrodes using continuous traction].

The continuous traction of firmly grown-in collar electrodes from the right ventricle is a simple technique poor in complications with a high success rate, which can be recommended taking into consideration the indications in the failure of the immediate manual extraction and which can be performed in every centre for cardiac pacemakers. Apart from the consideration of adequate informations in literature this evidence above all depends on the evaluation of data of 29 cases from 10 centres for cardiac pacemakers.
