Objectives: This study sought to assess the risk of collateral lead damage during cardiac implantable electronic device extraction.
Background: With the increasing numbers of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, there has been an increase in the number of percutaneous device and lead extractions. It is unknown how often collateral damage (defined as the need for unintended lead extraction, or loss of lead's integrity or dislodgement) occurs in the planned retained leads.
