Since I got my pacemaker, I don't pass out anymore! That's a blessing in itself.
How old is the lead?

If your vessel is open I would caution you against an extraction. Ask your physician to preform a venogram to determine if the vein is patent. If he can squeeze another wire in there...if it were me...I'd skip the extraction.
