Multicenter Imaging in Lead Extraction Study

The primary objectives of this registry is to correlate the amount of fibrosis as documented on Electrocardiogram (ECG) gated Computed Tomography (CT) scans with ease of advancing sheaths over the leads through the SVC zone during lead extraction.

About this study

This is a multi-center, prospective, observational registry study which plans to enroll approximately 200 patients referred for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device(CIED) lead extraction at one of the five study centers. The objective of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between fibrosis detected on ECG gated cardiac CT and the ease of lead extraction as measured by need for extraction energy. All patients will be followed for 30 days post-lead extraction to assess vital status and re-hospitalizations via phone call

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Referred for CIED (Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device) lead extraction with at least 1 lead with dwell time greater than one year
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • Appropriate candidate for chest/cardiac CT with contrast and full lead analysis

Exclusion criteria

  • Atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled rate

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Correlation of the presence and degree of fibrosis as determined by ECG gated cardiac CT with the presence and degree of fibrosis determined by ease of extraction sheath advancement

    Time frame: 30 days

    The presence and degree of fibrosis determined by the ease of extraction sheath advancement will be evaluated in three zones. Zone 1 will be the area before the Superior Vena Cava (SVC), Zone 2 in the SVC and Zone 3 after the SVC

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of ECG gated CT scans that show fibrosis

    Time frame: 30 days

    The percentage of ECG gated CT scans will be determined by scans that show little to no SVC (Zone 2) fibrosis, show little to no Zone 1 fibrosis, show little to no Zone 3 fibrosis, cardiac perforation, extravascular lead location

  2. Major complications as defined by Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2017 consensus guidelines

    Time frame: 30 days

    major complications

  3. Minor complications as defined by HRS 2017 consensus guidelines

    Time frame: 30 days

    minor complications

  4. Mortality

    Time frame: 30 days

    Death assessed

  5. Procedural outcomes

    Time frame: 30 days

    Operator ease of extraction (grade 1-5)

  6. Fluoroscopy time

    Time frame: 30 days

    Fluoroscopy duration of time

  7. Pathological reports from extracted leads

    Time frame: 30 days

    Pathology reports from extracted leads if available

  8. Hospitalizations directly related to the extraction of leads or procedure related

    Time frame: 30 days

    Number of hospitalizations related to the extraction of leads or procedure related within 30 days post procedure
