Decolonization of Staphylococcus aureus Prior to Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation: Evaluating Preoperative Yield.
The routine decolonization of SA with mupirocin, in addition to guideline-directed protocols, did not significantly affect DRI rates. Larger prospective studies are needed to evaluate the preventive role of routine SA decolonization in CIED procedures.
