Symptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis of the Upper Extremity Following Transvenous Lead Extraction, Data From EXTRACT Registry
Thrombosis is a relatively rare but serious complication. The precise selection of patients at risk of thrombosis after TLE may increase clinical success. It has been shown that an increased risk of thrombosis after TLE occurs in patients with a history of cancer, with heart failure in NYHA Class IV, and platelet concentration is low, in whom TLE is performed for noninfectious reasons, with the use of additional equipment like mechanical non-powered telescopic sheaths.
