Cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead removal in a resource-constrained setting: A single-center experience from India.

Background: Data from large-volume centers in developed countries, using dedicated tools, show a high success rate with a good safety record for the percutaneous lead removal procedure. However, there are constraints to replicate the results in a resource-poor setting and there is limited data from India.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed lead removal procedures performed in our institution from 2008 to 2019.
