From various points of view abandoned or displaced permanent pacemaker leads should be extracted in indicated cases using a broad spectrum of catheter-based techniques. We describe a relatively easy extraction procedure of almost the whole pacemaker lead, which broke near the pulse generator and migrated into right-heart chambers; so both ends were indwelling. The described procedure was undertaken using a simple homemade nitinol-based extractor.
