Aims: Objective of this study is to register data and trends in population of patients indicated for lead extraction or complete system removal. Basic demographic data, extraction success rate as well as complications, mortality, and its predictors were collected.

Methodology: Prospectively collected consequent patients indicated to lead extraction or system removal from our centre were included. Data regarding demography, device age, device type, extraction method and one month and one year mortality were collected. Outcomes: 172 patients were enrolled between years 2017-2020. 59.3% patients were indicated because of cardiac system infection. Success rate (full clinical and radiological) reached 92%, one month mortality 6.4%, one year mortality 14.5%. Explanted systems were 7.4 years old in average.

Conclusion: Percutaneous lead extraction is an established method, which is in our conditions safe and effective as in large European centres. Urgent cardiac surgery availability as well as adequate number of performed procedures are necessary safety precautions.

Keywords: Cardiac device related endocarditis, Laser extraction, Lead extraction
