Key result
Invasive procedures related to cardiac implantable electronic devices involve the risk of local complications such as pocket hematoma or infection, which require rapid recognition and proper treatment.
Why the study?
Invasive procedures related to CIEDs carry risks of local complications like pocket hematoma or infection, which must be rapidly recognized and treated to avoid threatening systemic complications.
Local complications such as pocket hematoma or infection following CIED procedures require rapid recognition and proper treatment to prevent severe systemic complications.
Urges clinical vigilance for CIED local complications; leaves open optimal prevention strategies pending higher-level evidence.
<ns3:p>Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers (PMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), both with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), became one of the fundamental therapies in present-day electrocardiology. The CIED patients population is increasing year by year due to a growing number of CIED implantations annually and a life prolongation among patients with CIEDs through better pharmacology combined with the proper electrotherapy and patient care. Invasive procedures related to CIED such as an implantation, a replacement or an up-grade of any kind electrotherapy device involves the risk of complications. Pocket hematoma or infection, which are local complications, should be recognized rapidly and treat properly in order to avoid more threatening systemic complications.</ns3:p>

Adamczyk et al. (2019) conducted a review in Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) complications. Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) was evaluated on Local complications (pocket hematoma or infection). Invasive procedures related to cardiac implantable electronic devices involve the risk of local complications such as pocket hematoma or infection, which require rapid recognition and proper treatment.
