The effect of an antibacterial envelope on cardiac implantable device-related infection — A real-world analysis from a tertiary center
In a contemporary cohort of consecutive, unselected patients undergoing a device intervention at a large tertiary care center, the rate of device infection was low and not significantly different with vs. without the use of an antibacterial envelope. The data have important practical as well as economic implications for physicians performing such procedures.
