Transvenous Lead Extraction SAFeTY Score for Risk Stratification and Proper Patient Selection for Removal Procedures Using Mechanical Tools.
TL;DR: The SAFeTY TLE score is easy to calculate and predicts the potential occurrence of procedure-related major complications and high-risk patients must be treated at high-volume centers with surgical backup.
Lead dependent tricuspid dysfunction: Analysis of the mechanism and management in patients referred for transvenous lead extraction.

TL;DR: Probably, TLE with lead reimplantation is a safe and effective option in LDTD management, and cardiac surgery with epicardial lead placement should be reserved for patients with ineffective previous procedures.
Risk Factors Predicting Complications of Transvenous Lead Extraction.
Wojciech Jacheć,Anna Polewczyk,Maciej Polewczyk,Andrzej Tomasik,Marianna Janion,Andrzej Kutarski +5 more
TL;DR: Efficacy and safety of TLE depend mainly on procedure-related factors; however, there was also a significant effect of lead dwell time and periprocedural complications on the short-term prognosis of patients undergoing TLE.
Infectious complications in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices: risk factors, prevention, and prognosis.
TL;DR: The development of all types of CIED infection was associated mainly with procedure-related factors, while long-‑term mortality was dependent on clinical factors, and the protective effects of chronic anticoagulation and antiplatelet treatment should prompt us to consider such therapy in the prevention ofCIED infection.

To abandon or not to abandon: Late consequences of pacing and ICD lead abandonment.
TL;DR: The aim of the study was to assess the late consequences of previous abandoned leads and the increasing number of cardiac implantable electronic device complications.
