Objectives: This study sought to describe trends in cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) insertion over the past 3 decades in Olmsted County.

Background: Trends in CIED insertion in the United States have not been extensively studied.

Methods: The Rochester Epidemiology Project is a medical records linkage system comprising the records of all residents of Olmsted County from 1966 to the present. CIED insertion between 1988 and 2018 was determined using International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision, International Classification of Diseases-10th Revision, and Current Procedural Terminology codes. Age- and sex-adjusted incidence rates, adjusted to the 2010 US White population, were calculated. Trends in incidence over time, across age groups, and between sex are estimated using Poisson regression models.

Results: The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of device implants for the study period were as follows: overall CIED: 82.4 (95% CI: 79.2-85.6); permanent pacemaker (PPM): 62.9 (95% CI: 60.0-65.7); implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD): 14.0 (95% CI: 12.6-15.3); and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT): 5.6 (95% CI: 4.7-6.4) per 100,000 per year. The overall incidence of CIED insertion increased between 1988 to 1993 and 2000 to 2005 and then decreased between 2000 to 2005 and 2012 to 218 (P < 0.0001). PPM and ICD insertion incidence followed these trends, whereas the incidence of CRT insertion increased between 2000 to 2005 and 2012 to 2018. CIED insertion incidence increased with age (P < 0.0001). CIED insertion incidence was greater in men (116.3 vs 57.3 per 100,000 per year in men vs women; P < 0.0001). The overall survival of CRT recipients improved (P = 0.0044).

Conclusions: The incidence values for PPM and ICD implants are decreasing, while the incidence of CRT implants is increasing. CIEDs are increasingly inserted in the elderly, men, and patients with higher comorbidities.

Background: The necessity of post procedural prophylactic antibiotics following clean surgeries is controversial. While most evidence suggests that there is no benefit from these additional antibiotics and guidelines do not support their use, there is a paucity of evidence as to how often they are still being used and their impact on infection outcomes. The current study assessed the use of prophylactic antibiotics following cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations in the province of Alberta, and their impact on infection and mortality.

Article Synopsis
  • Early diagnosis of cardiomyopathy through endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) during cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation can lead to timely treatment and potentially resolve complications.
  • This study explored a new technique for EMB using a 3D delivery sheath, analyzing the sheath's performance and its effectiveness in obtaining biopsy samples.
  • Results showed that the 3D delivery sheaths were safe and effective, with 20% of patients diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, highlighting the importance of this technique in early detection.

Procedural and long-term outcomes of tunneled transvenous leads.

Heart Rhythm

Background: Lead-related venous stenosis and occlusion can complicate the insertion or replacement of transvenous leads in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). A possible solution is to tunnel the lead from the contralateral vasculature to the ipsilateral generator. Procedural complications and long-term outcomes remain unclear with this technique.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the PECS II block's effectiveness in 120 patients undergoing cardiac device implantation, focusing on cases completed without additional anesthesia.
  • 65% of patients required extra local anesthetic during the procedure, but 81.7% reported high satisfaction with their pain management.
  • The findings suggest that while the PECS II block alone didn't eliminate the need for supplemental anesthesia, it notably improved the overall surgical experience and provided effective pain relief post-operation.
