Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous lead extraction is a generally safe and effective procedure based mostly on cohort studies over the past 15 years.
- The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to objectively assess the procedure's efficacy and safety.
- Their metaregression analysis identified key factors that influence outcomes, such as patient age, duration of leads in place, presence of device infection, and the use of laser sheath, which can help enhance future extraction methods and research efforts.
