Background: The incidence of infections associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and patient outcomes are not fully known.
Aim: To provide a contemporary assessment of the risk of CIEDs infection and associated clinical outcomes.
Methods: In Italy, 18 centres enrolled all consecutive patients undergoing a CIED procedure and entered a 12-months follow-up.

Cardiology Unit, "Card. Giovanni Panico" Hospital, Tricase, Italy.
Background: Leadless pacemaker (L-PM) have been developed in order to overcome the lead- and pocket-related complications associated with transvenous pacemaker (T-PM). The impact of L-PM implantation on the utilization of medical resources, patient comfort and therapy acceptance could differ from that of T-PM.
Research Design And Methods: Prospective, single-center study enrolling 243 consecutive patients undergoing PM implantation.
Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block combined with parasternal block in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation: Results of a pilot study.

Cardiology Unit, "Card. Giovanni Panico" Hospital, Tricase, Italy.
Background: The standard approach to subcutaneous defibrillator (S-ICD) implantation often requires general anesthesia or anesthesiologist-delivered deep sedation. Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) combined with parasternal block (PSB) has been proposed in order to provide anesthesia/analgesia and to reduce the need for sedation during S-ICD implantation. In this pilot study, we compared the double-block approach (SAPB + PSB) with the single-block approach (SAPB only) and with the standard approach involving local anesthesia and sedation.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the long-term effects of complications related to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) on mortality rates, focusing on both all-cause and cardiovascular deaths.
- Conducted through the POINTED registry, the research monitored patients over several years, finding that early complications significantly reduce survival rates compared to later complications and overall freedom from complications.
- The results indicate that all CIED-related complications increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality, with early complications raising the risk of all-cause mortality, emphasizing the need for improved management strategies to reduce these complications.
