N2 - BACKGROUND: The incidence of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-related complications, as well as the prevalence of obesity, is rising worldwide. Transvenous laser lead extraction (LLE) has grown into a crucial therapeutic option for patients with CIED-related complications but the impact of obesity on LLE is not well understood.METHODS AND RESULTS: All patients (n = 2524) from the GermAn Laser Lead Extraction RegistrY (GALLERY) were stratified into five groups according to their body mass index (BMI, <18.5; 18.5-24.9; 25-29.9; 30-34.9; ≥35 kg/m2). Patients with a BMI ≥ 35.0 kg/m2 had the highest prevalence of arterial hypertension (84.2%, p < 0.001), chronic kidney disease (36.8%, p = 0.020) and diabetes mellitus (51.1%, p < 0.001). The rates for procedural minor (p = 0.684) and major complications (p = 0.498), as well as procedural success (p = 0.437), procedure-related (p = 0.533) and all-cause mortality (p = 0.333) were not different between groups. In obese patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), lead age ≥10 years was identified as a predictor of procedural failure (OR: 2.99; 95% CI: 1.06-8.45; p = 0.038). Lead age ≥10 years (OR: 3.25; 95% CI: 1,31-8.10; p = 0.011) and abandoned leads (OR: 3.08; 95% CI: 1.03-9.22; p = 0.044) were predictors of procedural complications, while patient age ≥75 years seemed protective (OR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.08-0.93; p = 0.039). Systemic infection was the only predictor for all-cause mortality (OR: 17.68; 95% CI: 4.03-77.49; p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: LLE in obese patients is as safe and effective as in other weight classes, if performed in experienced high-volume centers. Systemic infection remains the main cause of in-hospital mortality in obese patients.
