Based on the available evidence the chances of implantable electronic heart device problems due to CT are very low The risk of problems can be reduced by following the recommendations below

Postprocedural pocket hematomas significantly increase risk for infection within 1 year of CIED implantation As such hematoma prevention is critical

Cardiovascular implantable electronic device CIED infections are morbid costly and difficult to manage This review explores the pathophysiology diagnosis and management of CIED infections Diagnostic accuracy has been improved through increased awareness and improved imaging strategies

Pocket infection after placement of a cardiac implantable electronic device can present as erythema and drainage A swelling skin necrosis and eschar formation B and erythema swelling and bullae formation C

Wearable cardioverter defibrillators should be considered for patients at risk for sudden cardiac death when the indication for a permanent implantable device has not been established those with unresolved infection precluding use of an implantable device and those with chronic venous catheter access pending creation of permanent AV access 12
