Hi everyone - My husband, 33M, has a dual chamber ICD (Biotronik), 2 leads that are 9 y/o. We have seen many EPs to talk about a possible extraction surgery mainly to prevent a future surgery that represents more risk in case of malfunction, infection and obviously because of the age of leads after 10-15 years. We are considering Cleveland Clinic as the hospital for the procedure.
Have you had or heard of young(er) people having leads extraction to prevent a bigger risk surgery in the future? Any testimonies about similar leads-age procedures?
Any input is valuable. Thanks everyone!
