Management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) undergoing radiotherapy: A consensus document from the Tunisian Society of Oncology Radiotherapy and the Tunisian Society of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery.

In patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices CIEDs, including cardiac pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), radiotherapy (RT) could compromise CIED function. Managing radiotherapy patients with CIED, has been a great practical and procedural challenge in radiotherapy and requires a structured multidisciplinary approach. A consensus document is presented as a result of a multidisciplinary working group involving cardiac electrophysiologists, Radiation Oncologists and Medical physicists.
