[Infections with cardiac implantable electronic device].

Abstract

Lead extraction is safe and effective in patients with systemic and local infections with a cardiac implantable electronic device. 30-day mortality and 1-year mortality rates were 2.5% and 9.9%, respectively. Systemic infection and chronic kidney disease were independently associated with 30-day and 1-year mortality. Clinical frailty scale 5-7 correlated independently with 1-year mortality. These risk factors should be considered during pre-procedure risk stratification.
