Summary Background: The rising number of device implantation has seen a parallel in the rising numbers of lead extraction. Herein we have analysed our experience in cardiac device and lead extraction in a single tertiary centre over the last decade. Method: Retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients undergoing lead extractions performed between 2001 and 2010. Procedural success and complications as defined by the Heart Rhythm Society policy. Results: A total of 745 leads were extracted with a procedural success of 98.9% [382 cases; partial success in 6.9% (26) cases] and failure in 1.1% (4). Major complication rate was 1% (four cases) and minor complication rate was 3.6%. By both univariate and multivariate analysis only duration of lead implantation was an indicator for success (p |
