Dual countertraction for extraction of abandoned leads with severe lead‐to‐lead adhesion

Note that firm adhesion between the atrial lead near the proximal electrode and the ventricular lead is present. Simultaneous application of countertraction from the femoral and jugular workstation, i.e. dual countertraction, liberated the two leads from the adhesion.
