VLEEM 2025

ADVANCING THE FUTURE OF LEAD MANAGEMENT

Celebrating 5 Years | Hosted by Merit Medical

October 2025 | Broadcast from Germany

Connecting Experts. Advancing Techniques. Elevating Outcomes.

Merit Medical is committed to advancing lead extraction education and innovation. With the acquisition of Cook Medical’s lead management portfolio, we are building upon the strong foundation Cook established by taking the Virtual Lead Extraction Experts Meeting (VLEEM) to the next level.

VLEEM was created to connect lead extraction experts from around the world, fostering collaboration and foster knowledge sharing in this critical field. What began as a small, invitation only event has evolved into a global forum where specialists present on and discuss the latest challenges, techniques, and advancements in lead extraction.

Our goal is to provide physicians and fellows with the knowledge, tools, and best practices to improve patient safety and procedural success.
