Outcomes in patients undergoing intervention for CIED
pocket infection
We performed subgroup analysis to determine if capsulectomy was
associated with meaningful benefits in patients with localized pocket
infection. In this subgroup (n=51), capsulectomy was also associated
with a significant risk of hematoma (6 vs. 0 cases, p=0.006) without
significant differences in the risk of reinfection (p=0.596).
