Twenty\u2010nine institutions (66%) performed &lt;10 lead extractions\/year, with 7 (16%) institutions not performing lead extraction. Although most institutions in which lead extraction is performed reported using several tools, mechanical rotating sheaths were cited as the main tool (66%) and only 13% reported the use of laser sheaths.

According to our results, the number of centers performing high volume lead extraction in Latin America is smaller than that reported in other continents, with most interventions performed using mechanical tools. Future prospective registries assessing acute and long\u2010term success are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jce.15180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]],"date-time":"2021-07-20T13:55:57Z","timestamp":1626789357000},"page":"2715-2721","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Current
