Evolution‐Guided Unidirectional Counter‐Clockwise Rotation for Nonretractable Screw‐in Lead Removal

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Unidirectional counter-clockwise manipulation of the Evolution RL sheath after adequate dissection enables controlled lead body rotation and gradual unscrewing. This technique may reduce myocardial injury during non-retractable screw-in lead removal.
