Infections of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
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.

Cardiac implantable electronic device infection

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 2017
Increasing numbers of patients with cardiac disease have improved quality of life and longevity as a result of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). CIED infections can involve the generator pocket, bloodstream, or cardiac structures and occur in about 0.5% of de novo CIED implants and approximately 2% of CIED replacements.
