Chicago, IL<br />

• Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections<br />

have remained a major complication after implantation<br />

• The incidence of infection related to CIED implantation<br />

ranges from 0.<strong>13</strong>% to 19.9%<br />

• Variations in the populations and practices at different<br />

sites account for this range of incidence rates<br />

• With the expanded indications for CIED implantation and<br />

higher risk patient population receiving therapy, the<br />

prevention and management of CIED infections<br />

continues to be studied<br />
