Infectious complications in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices: risk factors, prevention, and prognosis.
TL;DR: The development of all types of CIED infection was associated mainly with procedure-related factors, while long-‑term mortality was dependent on clinical factors, and the protective effects of chronic anticoagulation and antiplatelet treatment should prompt us to consider such therapy in the prevention ofCIED infection.

Proximal end of 15-year-old ventricular electrode penetrating pulmonary tissue – a source of infection and a challenge for transvenous lead extraction
TL;DR: Earlier extraction of non-functional lead in patients with broken, migrating leads is comparable to the “standard” procedure, and earlier extraction could prevent lead-related infections and reduce the potential procedural risk.
