Long-term survival following transvenous lead extraction: unpicking differences according to sex.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Female sex is a recognized risk factor for procedure-related major complications including in-hospital mortality following transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Long-term outcomes following TLE stratified by sex are unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors influencing long-term survival in patients undergoing TLE according to sex.

Methods and results

Clinical data from consecutive patients undergoing TLE in the reference centre between 2000 and 2019 were prospectively collected. The total cohort was divided into groups based on sex. We evaluated the association of demographic, clinical, device-related, and procedure-related factors on long-term mortality. A total of 1151 patients were included, with mean 66-month follow-up and mortality of 34.2% (n = 392)
