Zusammenfassung:	NÄGELE, H., et al.: Excimer Laser‐Assisted Extraction of an Infected Bipolar Left Ventricular Pacing Lead Implanted 10 Years Ago. Routine intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a previously undiscovered ventricular positioning of an infected ventricular lead left in place for 10 years. This case report describes successful removal of this lead from the left ventricle by means of excimer laser and discusses some important aspects to be considered.
