Transvenous lead extraction: The influence of age on patient outcomes in the PROMET study cohort

Background Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy contributes to an improvement in morbidity and mortality across all patient demographics. Patient age is a recognized risk factor for unfavorable outcomes in invasive procedures. This is the largest series of non‐laser transvenous lead...

Description
Summary:Background Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy contributes to an improvement in morbidity and mortality across all patient demographics. Patient age is a recognized risk factor for unfavorable outcomes in invasive procedures. This is the largest series of non‐laser transvenous lead extraction (TLE) evaluating the association between patient age and procedure outcomes. Methods Data of 2205 (3849 leads) patients was collected retrospectively from six European TLE centers between January 2005–December 2018 in the PROMET study. Of these, 153 patients with 319 leads were excluded for incomplete data. A comparison of outcomes was performed between the age groups young [
