Abstract

We describe a case of a so far unknown complication after failed extraction of defibrillator leads. Perforation of the LIMA bypass caused by Excimer laser created an arterio-venous fistula from the proximal bypass to the superior subclavian vein and occlusion of the distal LIMA bypass with consecutive anterior S T-elevation myocardial infarction.
Keywords: excimer laser extraction; defibrillator leads; myocardial infarction; arterio-venous fistula; aortocoronary bypass excimer laser extraction; defibrillator leads; myocardial infarction; arterio-venous fistula; aortocoronary bypass
