Management of Cardiac Electronic Device Infections: Challenges and Outcomes

Abstract: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection is an increasing problem. Reasons for this are uncertain, but likely relate to an increasing proportion of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices implanted, as well as implantations in ‘higher risk’ candidates, i.e. patients with heart failure, diabetes and renal failure. Challenges within the field of CIED infections are multiple with prevention being the most important challenge. Careful prescript… Show more

“…The rate of infection in earlier studies on S-ICD (4.0%–5.7%) 2 , 3 , 4 appeared to be greater than that recently reported for TV-ICD (0.7%–1.2%). 5 Possible factors associated with the higher rate of S-ICD infection include the learning curve for the implantation procedure, larger generator size, and patient selection bias. Some of these factors may be improved.…”

“…Die beste Therapie einer CIED-Infektion ist deren konsequente Prävention. In verschiedenen Arbeiten konnten Risikofaktoren, die mit einer erhöhten Infektionsrate einhergehen, identifiziert werden [1,3,6,9]. Zu den nicht beeinflussbaren Risikofaktoren gehören z.…”

“…Bei schlanken Patienten muss auch bei einer Schrittmacherimplantation eine subpektorale Aggregatlage erwogen werden. Ob im Rahmen eines Aggregatwechsels eine Entfernung der alten Aggregatkapsel Infektionen vermeidet, ist umstritten [6]. Das gleiche gilt für die postoperative Anlage eines Druckverbands über der Aggregattasche.…”
