Key result
Ipsilateral implantation of a temporary active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker resulted in 100% survival and freedom from reinfection over a mean follow-up of 21.1 months.
Why the study?
Does temporary pacing via an ipsilaterally implanted active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker provide safe and effective bridging in pacemaker-dependent patients with CIED infection?

Does temporary pacing via an ipsilaterally implanted active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker provide safe and effective bridging in pacemaker-dependent patients with CIED infection?
Ipsilateral implantation of a temporary active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker is a safe and effective bridging strategy for pacemaker-dependent patients undergoing CIED extraction for infection.
Pecha et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Systemic cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection and pacemaker dependency (n=17). Ipsilateral implantation of a temporary active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker was evaluated on Survival rate and freedom from reinfection. Ipsilateral implantation of a temporary active-fixation RV-lead connected to an externalized pacemaker resulted in 100% survival and freedom from reinfection over a mean follow-up of 21.1 months.
