Current trends in the management of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections

Emanuele Durante-Mangoni et al. Intern Emerg Med. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections are an emerging clinical problem. A growing number of dedicated and high quality clinical studies are currently being generated. We here review the most recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CIED infection including intracardiac lead endocarditis. We discuss the current etiology and risk factors, and appraise the major diagnostic issues, describing our center's therapeutic approach. We also address the management of CIED infection complications.
