Importance of Surgical Timing in Right-Side Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infective Endocarditis
Cardiac impantable electronic device infective endocarditis (CIED-IE) is a life-threatening condition. We report 2 cases of large infective endocarditis in which differences in surgical timing affected outcomes. Patients with CIED-IE should be referred to a hub center with experienced specialists and undergo early complete device extraction without unnecessary delay.
