Implication

Cohort study reveals transvenous lead extraction reduces mortality and costs in cardiac device infections, indicating complete removal is the most cost-effective management strategy.

Key Points

Transvenous lead extraction for cardiac implantable electronic device infections achieves lower costs and avoids high recurrence compared to local pocket procedures.
Systemic infections carried a 10.8% mortality rate, while pocket-only surgery resulted in an 87% recurrence rate that frequently required secondary interventions.
Single-center cohort evaluation across 380 infection cases demonstrates that antimicrobial treatment alone or local revision fails to prevent expensive systemic progression.
