lead extraction

Where can I get details of Uk specialist centres. I think I will need an extraction and want an expert to do it.

The leading cardiac centres in the UK are :-

-- The Royal Brompton Hosp in West London

-- Papworth near Huntingdon

- Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital

These are all specialist units with considerable experience of lead extractions . I'm sure there are many cardiologists in general hospitals around the UK who would " have a go"
but, I don't blame you, if I had well bedded-in leads that needed taking out , I would go to one of these major units.

Best of luck

............................I had lead extraction 14th Jan this year at Glenfield Leicester by Dr Alastair Sandilands.

Total success, no problems at all.

Dr Sandilands is a very approachable person and is very keen to make sure that patients are well informed ..he will give you all the time you need.

Hi. I go to St George's Hospital in London for all my cardiac care. They have a specialist cardiac unit which is well known in the UK.

Good luck
