Repeat lead extraction is required in 6% of cases. Complexity of device, age at extraction, and a major complication at the first extraction were predictors of repeat extraction. Mortality is significantly increased where the repeat procedure is for infection. Clinicians should alert patients to the potential need for further extraction and the increased risks of repeat procedures when indicated for infection.
