respiratory failure&#44; and diabetes&#41; increased in parallel with increases in numbers of device implantations &#40;96&#37;&#41;&#44; in infection rate &#40;from 1&#46;53&#37; to 2&#46;41&#37;&#41;

of patients presented signs of pocket infection&#59; previous infection was identified in 36&#37;&#44; who had been treated conservatively on the basis of the patient&#39;s general condition and comorbidities&#46; As the study was conducted in a reference center for extraction of cardiac electronic devices&#44; many patients had been referred from other centers and no information was available on the reasons for their initial conservative treatment&#46; The 2000 North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology guidance document stated that it was acceptable to remove the device and cut the exposed parts of the leads in cases of pocket infection in which the intravascular portion of the system was not involved&#46; However&#44; such a strategy is proving to be unsuccessful&#44; with a high risk of recurrence of reinfection and potentially serious consequences such as device-related or valvular endocarditis and sepsis&#44; putting the patient at unacceptable risk&#46; Mortality in cases of persistent infection can be as high as 66&#37; if the leads are not removed&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> The HRS consensus document recommends complete removal of the system &#40;device&#44; leads&#44; adapters&#44; sutures&#41; and as much of the infected tissue as possible when an infection is identified&#44; even if only of the pocket&#46; However&#44; in specific situations&#44; particularly when the patient has a poor prognosis or comorbidities that carry an excessively high risk of complications&#44;

of patients presented signs of pocket infection&#59; previous infection was identified in 36&#37;&#44; who had been treated conservatively on the basis of the patient&#39;s general condition and comorbidities&#46; As the study was conducted in a reference center for extraction of cardiac electronic devices&#44; many patients had been referred from other centers and no information was available on the reasons for their initial conservative treatment&#46; The 2000 North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology guidance document stated that it was acceptable to remove the device and cut the exposed parts of the leads in cases of pocket infection in which the intravascular portion of the system was not involved&#46; However&#44; such a strategy is proving to be unsuccessful&#44; with a high risk of recurrence of reinfection and potentially serious consequences such as device-related or valvular endocarditis and sepsis&#44; putting the patient at unacceptable risk&#46; Mortality in cases of persistent infection can be as high as 66&#37; if the leads are not removed&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> The HRS consensus document recommends complete removal of the system &#40;device&#44; leads&#44; adapters&#44; sutures&#41; and as much of the infected tissue as possible when an infection is identified&#44; even if only of the pocket&#46; However&#44; in specific situations&#44; particularly when the patient has a poor prognosis or comorbidities that carry an excessively high risk of complications&#44;
