Assessing long-term survival and hospitalization following transvenous lead extraction in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy devices: A propensity score-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Longer-term outcomes of patients post transvenous lead extraction (TLE) are poorly understood in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.

Objectives

A propensity score (PS)-matched analysis evaluating outcomes post TLE in CRT and non-CRT populations was performed.

Methods

Data from consecutive patients undergoing TLE between 2000 and 2019 were prospectively collected. Patients surviving to discharge and reimplanted with the same device were included. The cohort was split depending on presence of CRT device. Associations with all-cause mortality and hospitalization were assessed by Kaplan-Meier estimates. An exploratory endpoint was evaluated whether early (<7 days) or late (>7 days) reimplantation was associated with poorer outcomes.
