PDF Contemporary Management of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection
DALLAS September 1 2022 Research finds as many as 1 in 20 patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device CIED such as a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator develops an infection within three years of implantation However despite evidencebased guidelines many patients with a CIED infection do not receive the most uptodate evidencebased care
AHA 2022 CIED Infection managementreferral After diagnosing a patient with CIED pocket infection Approximately 7 out of 10 clinicians 69 would refer the patient to a device specialist who has expertise in CIED management Less than half 44 would refer the patient to an infectious disease specialist for plan therapy recommendation
Despite improvements in cardiovascular implantable electronic device CIED design application of timely infection control practices and administration of antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of device placement CIED infections continue to occur and can be lifethreatening This has prompted the study of all aspects of CIED infections Recognizing the recent advances in our understanding of

It is recommended that patients with a definite CIED infection and those with valvular infectious endocarditis IE without definite device and lead involvement undergo complete device removal ClED removal within 7 days of diagnosis is associated with a threefold decrease in 1year mortality compared with delay in removal beyond 7 days
AHA Update on CIED Infections Key Points American College of Cardiology
The American Heart Association sponsored the first iteration of a scientific statement that addressed all aspects of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection in 2010 Major advances in the prevention diagnosis and management of these infections have occurred since then necessitating a scientific statement update An 11member writing group was identified and included

Aha Update On Cied Infections Key Points American College
Infection from cardiac implantable devices CIEDs is a serious complication and addressing discrepancies such as guideline education and streamlining care or referral pathways are key to bridging the gaps and improving patient outcomes according to results from the COGNITO survey published Feb 3 in JACC Advances An observational survey was conducted by the American College of Cardiology
Multiple clinical practice guidelines and consensus documents on prevention and management of CIED infection have endorsed Class I indications for complete system and lead removal in the presence of CIED infection 58 However major gaps in knowledge and insufficient adherence to guidelines continue to remain an important hurdle to overcome
The American Heart Association AHA updated its scientific statement on cardiovascular implantable electronic device CIED infections in an article published in Circulation Infections associated with CIEDs namely CIEDrelated infective endocarditis are life threatening and often associated with difficulties in diagnosis and management
