ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for removing from a patient (12) a previously implanted elongated structure (14), such as a catheter, sheath, defibrillator lead, pacemaker lead (15) or the like. The device (10) includes a snare (24) which encircles and reversibly grasps either the proximal end (16) or the distal end (20) of the elongated structure (14), as well as a sheath member (22) for delivering the snare (24) to the particular end (16 or 20) of the structure (14) to be grasped. The device (10) is thereby capable of performing two different functions in removing the elongated structure (15); when employed to grasp the proximal end (16) of the elongated structure (14), the device (10) serves to fix the position of the structure (14) thereby allow a separate coring cannula or sheath to advance along the structure (14) and separate it from any tissue which has encapsulated it; while alternatively the sheath member (22) may itself be or include a coring or dilator sheath (36), and the snare (24) employed to grasp the distal end (20) of the elongated structure (14) after the structure (14) is freed by the coring or dilator sheath (36) from any tissue which has encapsulated it. A special advantage of the device (10) of the present invention over the prior art is that the grasping of the structure end (16 or 20) by the snare (24) is reversible; this is of particular value when the removal procedure must be interrupted.
