Lead extraction – OK, but for what ?

Conclusions: 1. TLE is to prevent utility of oposite chest side 2. TLE permit to replace non-functional leads and for system up-grading as well 3. TLE after new system implantation ??? = „suboptimal decision” 4. Lead replacement, upgrading should to be performed during unit replacement (ERI) if there are no other urgent indications 5. TLE „after” ??? - out of standards
