INTRODUCTION
Over the past years, the number of leads extractions (LE) has increased
in direct relationship to the increased numbers of cardiovascular
implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implants. This could be related
not only to population growth and increasing life expectancy but also to
wider indications, development of new technologies and better access to
healthcare. 1
RENEDI (“Registro Nacional de Extracción de Dispositivos” ) is
the first Inter-societary, observational and prospective registry on
transvenous lead extraction (TLE) in Argentina designed with the
objective of providing data on lead extraction real-world practice in
our country.
