Ep. 3: Why Do Antibiotics Fail With CIED Infection?
Author(s): Dan Atar , Added: 2 years ago
Although rare, cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections may occur at any timepoint in the lifecycle. It is important to remain alert and recognise signs early. Traditionally, antibiotics alone are used to treat infection. But for CIED infections, when treated with antibiotics only, the relapse rate varies between 50 and 100 percent. But why is that?

Ep. 4: Lead Extraction is the Solution to Treat CIED Infection
Author(s): Mauro Biffi , Carina Blomström-Lundqvist Added: 2 years ago
Infection of a cardiac electronic implantable device (CIED) is a rare, but serious complication. We now know that, because of the appearance of biofilm on implants, these infections cannot be treated by antibiotics alone. As such, Worldwide Cardiac Society guidelines recommend complete system removal of all hardware, including the leads, when an infection is present. Although the guidelines are… View more
