This study is an observational registry looking at lead extraction procedures. Leads are small wires that connect an implanted heart device (like a pacemaker or defibrillator) to your heart. The study will collect information from medical records of patients who have had these leads removed at OHSU. Researchers want to understand more about who gets lead extractions, why they are done, and what happens afterward. The main goal is to look at the safety of these procedures, specifically any complications that might happen during your hospital stay (typically 2 days to 2 weeks). You can join if you are undergoing a lead extraction procedure.
