Implication

Many UK CIED extractions lack surgical backup; leaves open whether low volumes and EP-lab settings meet safety standards.

Structured PICO

Population

Members of Heart Rhythm UK (n=30 respondents, 9.3% response rate)

Intervention

Survey on current practice and perception of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) transvenous lead extraction

Outcome

Current practice and perception of lead extraction (case volume, settings, surgical support, techniques, perceived risks)

A survey of UK electrophysiologists reveals that many perform low volumes of CIED lead extractions, often without immediate surgical backup, highlighting a gap between current practice and optimal safety standards.

Limitations

Low response rate (9.3%)
