Key result
Cardiac implantable electronic device implantation is most commonly associated with post-procedural chest pain, which arises from various device-related complications.
Why the study?
Chest pain is the most common symptom experienced after cardiac implantable electronic device implantation, requiring a description of implantation and associated complications causing chest pain.
This review highlights the causes and complications associated with chest pain following cardiac implantable electronic device implantation.
Post-CIED chest pain warrants complication evaluation; review leaves open prospective incidence and management data.
More than 600,000 patients undergo cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation in a year, which comprise of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT). The most common symptom experienced after a CIED implantation is chest pain. In this review, we describe CIED implantation and associated complications causing chest pain.
