Temporary external implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator as a bridge to reimplantation after infected device extraction

Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) and endovascular infection represent a difficult management group. The explantation of an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) system deprives the patient of the protection against life‐threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. In t...

Sumario:Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) and endovascular infection represent a difficult management group. The explantation of an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) system deprives the patient of the protection against life‐threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. In this study, we describe feasibility and clinical outcomes of bridging with temporary dual‐coil ICD lead and external ICD following the extraction of a CIED due to endovascular infection and compare the performance of this approach to other available options.
