Mechanical Complication of Cardiac Electronic Device Clinical Trial
Official title:
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.
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 ;
