Device-Removal, Reinfection, and Mortality After Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Patients With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
The Danish CIED carriers had slightly higher 30-day all-cause mortality after SAB compared to matched controls. Only a minor selected proportion underwent device removal after SAB diagnosis and, after initial survival, these patients had lower 180-days reinfection rates and mortality compared to patients with retained devices.
