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.
