  Figure 1. Kaplan–Meier curves describing survival probability, after one year of follow-up, according to the three therapeutic approaches used for CIED-related endocarditis: medical only, transvenous lead extraction (TLE), and open heart surgery (OHS).

• 

  Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier curves describing long-term survival probability according to therapeutic approach (medical only vs. TLE) and CCI < or ≥ the group median.

• 

  Figure 3. Kaplan–Meier curves comparing long-term survival probability of the two subgroups of patients with a CCI higher that the group median managed with medical therapy only vs. TLE.
