Question

Risks and prior failures: What devices that offered much potential have failed to deliver – and why? I have sent this question and I got the answer please provide for me the references as it required for my course work

Complications of the device implantation including infections are associated with
increased morbidity and mortality and also substantial financial burden to the
society. Several clinical characteristics have been recognized as risk factors for

the occurrence of the infections. Considering that infections occur in the presence of multiple risk factors acting together, scoring systems have been developed in
identifying patients at risk. Despite preventive measures, the rates of infections
associated with CIEDs have increased over the last decade. Recent studies have
documented the role of implantable antibiotic eluting pouches in reducing
infections in patients undergoing CIED implantation.
