Dr. Bruce Wilkoff is a good starting point. He, at Cleveland Clinic, published on laser lead extraction risk stratification / indications.
There are laser extraction experts in most any geographic location. The Medtronic pacemaker Sales Reps knows who they are.
Two of us, while at Medtronic invented it, but Spectranetics. Colorado Springs, has the technology and manufactures the laser and catheter.

Dr. Sergio Pinski at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston (Fort Lauderdale) would be another good contact.
Good luck,

It is my understanding that the Cleveland Clinic has branch hospitals/doctors in Florida. They are among the best in the business.

I am just grateful to God that I lived long enough to have my ICD put in. So many people are not as lucky as us; even though we sometimes don't feel lucky.
