Current practice with regard to transvenous lead extraction among European implanting centres was analysed by this survey.
Among all contacted centres, 164, from 30 countries, declared that they perform transvenous lead extraction and answered 58 questions with a compliance rate of 99.9%. Data from the survey show that there seems to be an overall increasing experience of managing various techniques of lead extraction and a widespread involvement of cardiac centres in this treatment. Results and complication rates seem comparable with those of main international registries.
This survey gives an interesting snapshot of lead extraction in Europe today and gives some clues for future research and prospective European registries.
本调查分析了欧洲植入中心在经静脉导线拔除方面的现行实践。
在所有联系的中心中，来自 30 个国家的 164 个中心表示他们进行经静脉导线拔除，并对 58 个问题进行了答复，符合率为 99.9%。调查数据表明，管理各种导线拔除技术的经验似乎在总体上有所增加，并且心脏中心广泛参与了这种治疗。结果和并发症发生率似乎与主要国际登记处的结果和并发症发生率相当。
本调查为当今欧洲的导线拔除提供了一个有趣的快照，并为未来的研究和前瞻性欧洲登记处提供了一些线索。
