Key result
Percutaneous extraction of cardiac electronic devices achieved a 92% full clinical and radiological success rate, with a one-month mortality of 6.4% and one-year mortality of 14.5%.
Why the study?
The study evaluated consecutive patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device or lead extraction to assess demographics, procedural success, complications, mortality over time, and mortality predictors.
Observational (n=172)
No
Percutaneous lead extraction is a highly effective procedure with a 92% complete success rate, though patients face significant one-year mortality (14.5%) likely driven by underlying comorbidities and infections.
High success supports lead extraction feasibility in real-world cohorts; leaves open strategies to reduce one-year mortality.

Látal et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Indication for cardiac electronic device extraction (n=172). Percutaneous cardiac electronic device extraction was evaluated on Extraction success rate (full clinical and radiological). Percutaneous extraction of cardiac electronic devices achieved a 92% full clinical and radiological success rate, with a one-month mortality of 6.4% and one-year mortality of 14.5%.
