Treatment of Infected Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.
With their rising benefits, cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have witnessed a sharp rise in use over the past 50 years. As indications for use broaden, so too does their widespread employment with its attendant rise of CIED infections. Such large numbers of infections have inspired various algorithms mandating treatmen...
متن کاملImaging for Infected Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), having been shown capable of improving the quality as well as duration of life, are playing an increasingly important role in the management of patients with disorders of heart rhythm and/or function. Over the last decade there has been a remarkable increase in CIED utilization; in the United States alone 235,567 new and 101,042 replacement pacema...
متن کاملPerspectives in managing recalls of cardiac implantable electronic devices
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have proven survival benefit and their use continues to increase worldwide. Being devices dependent on a range of sophisticated electronic and mechanical components, there is an inherent risk of device-related complications. Any compromise in system (generator/lead) integrity demands prompt evaluation. Fortunately, current era cardiac implantable e...
متن کاملInfected cardiac-implantable electronic devices: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, according to current trends, appears to be an increasing problem. It can be indolent and its diagnosis challenging. Cardiac implantable electronic device infections are potentially lethal, and timely diagnosis and early initiation of correct treatment are of highest importance for patient prognosis. For reducing CIED infections, careful pa...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in individuals with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has unparalleled soft-tissue imaging capabilities. The presence of devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), however, was historically considered a contraindication to MR imaging. We summarize the potential hazards of the device-MR environment interaction, and present updated information regarding in vitro and in vivo experime...
