Background Although increasingly more lead extraction was performed for superfluous
leads, the extraction of such leads remains controversial. Objective The objective of this …

Background: Ensuring a haemodynamically effective cardiac rhythm is a challenge in
patients waiting for pacemaker reimplantation after transcutaneous lead extraction due to an …

The available literature lacks data concerning direct comparison of the effectiveness and
safety of single-versus dual-coil implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads …

Introduction We evaluated the influences of selected factors on electrical lead failure (ELF)
occurrence in patients referred for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) procedures. Methods …

Objective To analyze and compare the effectiveness and safety of transvenous lead
extraction (TLE) with mechanical systems of pacing leads older than 20 years (group A) …

Introduction Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is a recognized method of treatment in the
case of permanent stimulation complication. Objectives The objective of this study was to …

Background: Still increasing life expectancy in patients with implanted devices and large
number of leads more and more often induce the need to cure the treatment complications …

IntroductIon Due to the prolonged survival of patients with cardiovascular implantable
electronic devices, leads often need to be removed in elderly individuals. objEctIvEs We …

Background Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization
therapy defibrillator (CRT‐D) systems are considered as having higher risk of complication …

Cardiac devices are increasingly an element of treatment for the elderly, leading to more
frequent transvenous lead removal (TLR) procedures in this population. Data on TLR in very …
