DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)30920-7
Abstract: Risk factors for CIED infection are not well defined and procedural techniques to minimize infection lack supportive evidence. WRAP-IT was a large randomized trial assessing the efficacy of an antibiotic envelope to reduce CIED infections.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac444
Abstract: Abstract Background Gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) as a manifestation of cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection is uncommon. Moreover, echocardiography may be nonspecific in its ability to differentiate whether CIED lead masses are infected. We aimed… read more here.
