Key result
This review summarizes the evidence base underlying common preventive actions to avoid complications during primary cardiac implantable electronic device implantations.
Why the study?
Nearly one in ten patients experience CIED implantation complications, and with rising implant rates, primary prevention remains a major concern.
Do preventive actions reduce complications in patients undergoing primary CIED implantation?
Do preventive actions reduce complications in patients undergoing primary CIED implantation?

Adherence to preventive measures may reduce CIED complications; leaves open need for prospective adherence trials.
Nearly one in ten patients experience complications in relation to cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations. CIED complications have serious implications for the patients and for the healthcare system. In light of the rising rates of new implants and consistent rate of complications, primary prevention remains a major concern. To guide future efforts, we sought to review the evidence base underlying common preventive actions made during a primary CIED implantation.
