Ten year study of late electrotherapy complications. The single center analysis of indications and safety of transvenous lead extraction.

CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated a high rate of qualification of patients with noninfectious complications for TLE and very high effectiveness of TLE. The worse long-term survival of patients with infectious complications, as well as increased risk of infectious complications due to the greater number of prior procedures should prompt consideration of early qualification for TLE in the case of dysfunction of the leads.
