Retrospective study of post-operative infections in implantable cardiac devices in a cardiac tertiary care center.

Background: The rise in the incidence of implantation is one of the main causes behind the increased rate of CIED infection, which is considered as a serious life-threatening complication. The need of risk factor assessment has become a necessity to prevent further complications and provide prompt management.

Objectives: Identify the risk factors of infection postoperatively among patients who have implantable cardiac devices.
