Long- and short-term outcomes after transvenous lead extraction in a large single-centre patient cohort using the clinical frailty scale as a risk assessment tool

The rate of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations and the need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) are growing worldwide. This study examined a large Swedish cohort with the aim of identifying possible predictors of post-TLE mortality with special focus on systemic infection patients and frailty.
