The details of an unusual âghostâ after transvenous lead extraction: Three-dimensional computed tomography analysis
Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is performed to prevent deaths in patients with device infections. Intracardiac masses detected by echocardiography, i.e., âghosts,â are reported in 8% of patients after a TLE in retrospective studies and in 14% in prospective studies.
