Cardiac implantable electronic device infections: presentation, management, and patient outcomes.
BACKGROUND Indications for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasing. Although CIED infections occur infrequently, the impact of this outcome is expected to be substantial. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to the evaluate the outcome of patients undergoing removal of infected CIEDs. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted of all patients with proven or suspect...
متن کاملMicrobiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections.
Advancements in our understanding of cardiac conduction abnormalities and pathophysiology of congestive heart failure coupled with innovations in device manufacturing and programming have helped to create a demand for a plethora of newer cardiovascular devices over the past 3 decades. Appropriate use of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in carefully selected patients is asso...
متن کاملCardiovascular implantable electronic device infections: associated risk factors and prevention.
Infections of cardiovascular implantable electric devices (CIED) are a burden on patients and healthcare systems and should be prevented. The most frequent pathogens are coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus. The most important risk factors for CIED infections are diabetes mellitus, renal and heart failure, corticosteroid use, oral anticoagulation, fever within 24 hours bef...
متن کاملOutcomes of Transvenous Lead Extraction for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Infections in Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valves.
BACKGROUND Lead-related or valve-related endocarditis can complicate cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection in patients with both CIED and prosthetic valves. The objective of this study was to determine the outcomes of transvenous lead extraction for CIED infection in patients with prosthetic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively screened 794 transvenous lead e...
متن کاملCanadian Registry of Implantable Electronic Device Outcomes
An advisory related to the Riata and Riata ST leads was announced on November 28, 2011 by St. Jude Medical after these leads had been removed from the market the year before. This advisory described the possibility of conductors within the implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) lead becoming externalized because of an inside-out abrasion mechanism. This is a novel failure mechanism, not r...
