Abstract Background Despite the fact that the transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is the method of choice of treatment for pacing complications, these procedures are not often performed in the elderly. The prognosis after TLE in these groups of patients is uncertain. Aim Evaluation of risk factors for death of patients who underwent TLE over the age 80 and 90 years. Methods 3368 patients with complete follow-up data (mean age at the time of procedure; 65.38±15.64 years old, 1198 female) who underwent TLE procedures in two high volume experienced European centers. Risk factors for death in patients divided in to three groups depending on the age: below the age of 80 (group A, n=2854) and in groups of eighty-years-old (group B, n=484) and ninety-years old (group C, n=30) were determined using the Cox multivariable model. The survival of eighty-year-olds and ninety-year-olds was worse compared to younger patients and they did not differ between themselves (Figure 1). Results 815 deaths occurred during 3.87±2.76 years of follow-up; 611 (21.4%) in group A, 192 (39.7%) in group B (p
