Why the study?
Leadless pacing systems have an almost non-existent infection rate, but device-related infection from these devices is still possible.
Highlights the possibility of leadless pacemaker endocarditis and recommends device extraction with delayed reimplantation for management.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Device infection possible with leadless pacemakers; leaves open incidence, evaluation protocols, and management in bacteremic patients.
Patel et al. (2023) studied this question.
