Background: Safe and effective management of venous vascular access is a key component of electrophysiology (EP) procedures. Recently, the Z-stitch method has been developed for effective venous hemostasis. However, the standard postprocedure protocol often includes prolonged bed rest, which may affect patient satisfaction.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare risk factors for monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (PVT/VF) in patients, indicating MMVT ablation can reduce shock frequency and enhance survival.
- A cohort of 2,668 patients was analyzed using Cox models to adjust for demographic and clinical factors, with significant associations found between MMVT risk and various electrocardiogram metrics.
- The research developed predictive models for MMVT and PVT/VF, achieving high accuracy in identifying high-risk patients, which can assist in procedural planning for better patient outcomes.
Background: Lead dwell time is the single strongest predictor of failure and complications in transvenous lead extraction.
Objectives: To report the success rate and complications of transvenous lead extractions with implant dwell time of at least 15 years.
Methods: Procedural and patient data were prospectively collected into a database.
