Outcomes of Chlorhexidine Scrubbing without Capsulectomy vs. Complete Capsulectomy After Lead Extraction for the Treatment of Cardiac Implantable Device Infection

2022-11-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> : Capsulectomy is recommended in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection after transvenous lead extraction (TLE) but is time-consuming and requires extensive tissue debridement. In this study, we describe the outcomes of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) scrubbing in lieu of capsulectomy for the treatment of CIED infections. <h4>Methods: </h4> : This retrospective...
