Dosimetric review of cardiac implantable electronic device patients receiving radiotherapy
A formal communication process was established and evaluated for the management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) receiving radiation therapy (RT). Methods to estimate dose to the CIED were evaluated for their appropriateness in the management of these patients. A retrospective, institutional review board (IRB) approved study of 69 patients with CIEDs treated with ...
متن کاملInfections of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), which includes permanent pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, has greatly increased over the past two decades. Unfortunately, along with the rising use of cardiac medical devices, there has been a disproportional increase in the number of infections of such devices [1]. The rates of infection of CIED range from 0.1% t...
متن کاملTreatment of Infected Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.
With their rising benefits, cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have witnessed a sharp rise in use over the past 50 years. As indications for use broaden, so too does their widespread employment with its attendant rise of CIED infections. Such large numbers of infections have inspired various algorithms mandating treatmen...
متن کاملRemote Monitoring of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization devices use advanced diagnostic functions to continuously monitor the patient and the device itself. Follow-up is necessary after implantation to provide individualized treatment and to detect malfunctions. Routine office visits, however, do not provide access to these data on a timely basis. Transtelephonic pace...
متن کاملImaging for Infected Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), having been shown capable of improving the quality as well as duration of life, are playing an increasingly important role in the management of patients with disorders of heart rhythm and/or function. Over the last decade there has been a remarkable increase in CIED utilization; in the United States alone 235,567 new and 101,042 replacement pacema...
