Thinning of the pocket was more often observed in patients with higher
number of leads and higher number of CIED-related procedures before TLE
especially surgical plastic surgery. This group of patients was also
characterized by shorter lead dwell time, shorter time since last
CIED-related procedure and higher score on the PADIT scale ( Table 3).
