Incidence and Predictors of Perioperative Complications With Transvenous Lead Extractions: Real-World Experience With National Cardiovascular Data Registry [Original Articles]
Conclusions:
The rate of major complications and mortality with transvenous lead extraction is similar in the real-world outcomes to that reported in recent single-center studies from high-volume centers. There is significant risk of urgent cardiac surgery, which carries a high mortality, and planning for appropriate cardiothoracic surgery backup is imperative.
