Infective endocarditis and the pacemaker: cardiac implantable electronic device infection.
We are seeing more implantation of cardiac device such as pacemakers and defibrillators and also cardiac implantable electronic device infection. The infection may affect just the pocket site or progress to deeper infection and bacteraemia. Inadequately treated infection may lead to right sided endocarditis, cardiotomy for pacemaker explantation and increased cost and length of stay in the hosp...
متن کاملDosimetric 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 کاملCardiac 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 کاملPericarditis-Induced Hyponatremia after Cardiac Electronic Implantable Device (CEID) Procedures
BACKGROUND Pericardial effusion along with pleural effusion is one of the rare complications of permanent pacemaker placement. Although extremely uncommon, it is more prevalent in elderly patients and may be complicated with hyponatremia. CASE REPORT We observed development of hyponatremia in association with pericardial effusion and pleural effusion, within one month after pacemaker placemen...
متن کاملCardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection: From an Infection Prevention Perspective
A cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) is indicated for patients with severely reduced ejection fraction or with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Infection related to a CIED is one of the most feared complications of this life-saving device. The rate of CIED infection has been estimated to be between 2 and 25; though evidence shows that this rate continues to rise with increasing e...
