Abstract

Conclusions Lead extraction employing laser sheaths is highly successful with a low procedural complication rate. Total mortality is substantially increased with pocket infections or device-related endocarditis, particularly in the setting of diabetes, renal insufficiency, or body mass index <25 kg/m 2 . Centers with smaller case volumes tended to have a lower rate of successful extraction.
