Increasing CIED use has led to more device-related complications, with widely varying infection rates highlighting a need for laboratory standardizations and perioperative prevention guidance.
Observational (n=169)
No
Strict periprocedural measures and collaboration with infectious diseases are associated with a low rate of CIED infections.
