Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years with an implanted CIED who are scheduled for non-CIED related surgical or catheter-based procedures.

Probably not a fit

Patients without an implanted CIED or those lacking peri-interventional CIED interrogation data may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the peri-operative management and outcomes of patients with implanted cardiac electronic devices (CIED) who are undergoing non-CIED related surgeries or catheter interventions. It involves a bi-center approach with retrospective data collection and ongoing prospective enrollment at Klinikum Fuerth and Klinikum Nuernberg. The primary focus is on documenting and classifying peri-operative adverse device-related events, along with gathering comprehensive pre-, peri-, and post-interventional data to improve future management recommendations.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and effectiveness of surgical procedures for patients with implanted cardiac devices.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on this specific approach, previous studies have indicated the need for updated recommendations in managing patients with CIED during surgical procedures.
