| dc.description.abstract | Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-associated infections are major causes of concern, with an infection rate of 1-2%.These infections can range from localised pocket generator site (PG Site) infections to systemic infections like Lead Endocarditis(LE). We conducted a retrospective study over 2 years (2023-2025) that included CIED such as Permanent Pacemakers (PPI), Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy devices (CRT), and Intracardiac Defibrillators (ICD).This study describes the clinical presentation, risk factors, microbiological spectrum, management strategies, and outcome in a series of 24 patients with pocket generator (PG) site infections. Knowledge of these variables aids the treating team in early clinical diagnosis, microbiological correlation, and timely intervention, which have to go hand in hand to ensure successful patient outcomes. | |
