Key result
External temporary permanent pacemakers were safe and effective in 23 pacemaker-dependent patients after infected CIED extraction, with 0% experiencing loss of capture or sensing failure.

Does a temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) system prevent loss of capture and sensing failure in pacemaker-dependent patients after infected CIED extraction?
Externalized temporary permanent pacemakers provide safe, stable pacing and allow for hospital discharge in pacemaker-dependent patients undergoing prolonged antibiotic therapy after infected CIED extraction.
Kawata et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection (n=23). Temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) system was evaluated on Loss of capture or sensing failure. External temporary permanent pacemakers were safe and effective in 23 pacemaker-dependent patients after infected CIED extraction, with 0% experiencing loss of capture or sensing failure.
