Pre-procedural computed tomography predicts procedural complexity and complications in bidirectional rotational mechanical transvenous lead extraction
Pre-procedural CT allows accurate identification of high-risk anatomical features, particularly fibrosis length and calcifications, which independently predict both complicated and complex rotational mechanical TLE. These findings support the integration of CT imaging into procedural planning and individualized risk stratification.
