Heart failure is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality after transvenous lead extraction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is increasingly considered in cardiac implantable electronic device management. Heart failure (HF) might be associated with mortality risks after the TLE procedure. This study aims to assess mortality risk in HF patients undergoing TLE.

Method

We searched MEDLINE and Embase databases from inception to June 2022 to identify articles that included patients with and without HF who underwent TLE, which reported mortality in both groups. The pooled effect size was calculated with a random-effects model and 95% CI to compare post-TLE mortality between the two groups.

Results

Eleven studies were included in the analysis. Each left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased by 1% was associated with reduced mortality by 2% (HR
