Usefulness of right ventriculography compared with computed tomography for ruling out the possibility of lead perforation before lead extraction.

<h4>Purpose</h4>High-risk patients can be identified by preprocedural computed tomography (CT) before lead extraction. However, CT evaluation may be difficult especially for lead tip identification due to artifacts in the leads. Selective right ventriculography (RVG) may enable preproced...
