Pseudomonas monteilii bacteremia and sepsis following insertable cardiac monitor implantation: a case report
The infection rate after insertable cardiac monitor insertion is extremely low; however, sepsis may occur without pocket infections. Physicians should be aware of signs of systemic infection, particularly when the procedure is performed outside the catheterization room. Sepsis after insertable cardiac monitor implantation can be managed with adequate antibiotic treatment without device removal if there is no sign of inflammation at the insertion site.
