Oliver J. Monfredi, MBChB, PhD, FHRS, talks with Emily P. Zeitler, MD, MHS, FHRS, and Graham Peigh, MD, MS, to explore the real-world consequences of the "2026 HRS/AHA/APHRS/EHRA/IDSA/LAHRS/PACES/STS expert consensus statement update on cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead management and extraction."
