Brief summary
Presentation of procedural safety and outcomes data from a high volume TLE centre
Detailed description
Transvenous lead extraction is crucial procedure in the longterm management of patients with implanted pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators. Our study presents the patient and procedural characteristics as well as the outcome data of a cohort undergoing transvenous lead extraction (TLE) with olny mechanical extraction tools at a high-volume TLE centre.
