Zusammenfassung: | IntroductionWith increasing numbers and complexity of implantable devices, the need for lead extraction is also increasing. There is little UK data available on clinical outcomes. We compiled a multi-centre registry of patients undergoing lead extraction to investigate predictors of success and complications.MethodsData on all cases at three UK tertiary centres (St. Barts and The Heart Hospital London and Papworth Hospital Cambridge) were collected over 18 months. Cases where leads were >1 year in age or where specialist extraction equipment was used were included (cases=137, leads=268).Results69% of patients were male, age 66±16 years (mean±SD). Devices extracted were single chamber PPMs (5%), dual chamber PPMs (42%), CRTPs (6%), single chamber ICDs (6%), dual chamber ICDs (17%) and CRTDs (24%). 76% of ICD leads were dual coil. Number of leads extracted per patient was 2.0±1.0 and time from implantation was 8.3±11.1 years. Leads were extracted using simple traction (39%), traction with locking stylets alone (8%) or dilator sheaths (5%), bidirectional cutting sheaths (38%) or laser (10%). Only 2% of cases required additional femoral access. Specialist equipment was preferentially used for older leads (10.4±13.1 vs 5.2±5.8 years, p |
