Predictors of mortality and outcomes in transvenous lead extraction for systemic and local infection cohorts.

Patients undergoing TLE for infective indications are at greater risk of 30-day all-cause mortality compared to noninfective patients. Patients undergoing TLE for systemic infective indications are at greater risk of 30-day all-cause mortality compared to patients with local infection. Renal impairment, systemic infection, and elevated preprocedure C-reactive protein are independent predictors of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients undergoing TLE for an infective indication.
