Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the risks of MRI scans in pediatric patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), focusing on those with epicardial or abandoned leads, where guidelines discourage routine scans.
- A multicenter review analyzed 314 patients who underwent 389 MRIs from 2007 to 2022, assessing any adverse events or significant changes to their CIEDs post-scan.
- Results showed only a small incidence of symptoms or CIED changes (4.9% of MRIs), suggesting that MRIs can be safely conducted for these patients without major complications.
