Cardiac lead extraction. Managing leads. Together.

Patients rely on you to provide guidance about device management, including when lead extraction may be indicated. When physicians and extractors work together to provide information and options, you can be confident that the patients you refer for extraction can expect a safe, successful procedure, supported by Philips - your partner in providing advanced devices* and training.

Knowledge gaps in managing patients with CIED infections:

For specialities outside the ‘lead extraction’ world, this symposia highlights the gaps in knowledge, lack of confidence and barriers to the implementation of current guidelines. It is a unique and valuable insight in to the challenges faced by non-extracting physicians.

Lead extraction.

Life saving.

More than 6 in 10 patients suffering from cardiac device infections go untreated or undertreated.²

All leading cardiac societies agree that safe, cost-effective and life-saving treatment for such an infection is complete removal of the device, including leads. Any patient with an implanted cardiac device and a suspected infection should be screened immediately for device infection.¹

Philips is dedicated to helping you recognize and treat implanted cardiac device infections by providing expert tools, training and support that help you save lives and vastly improve the quality of life for your patients.

Lead extraction vs. antibiotic treatment: New study looks at outcome for patients

Data from the Multicenter Electrophysiologic Device Infection Collaboration, a prospective, observational, multinational cohort study of CIED infection, were used to investigate whether clinical predictors of successful salvage of infected devices could be identified.
PI James E. Peacock MD summarizes: device explantation should remain a mandatory and early management intervention in patients with CIED infection in keeping with existing expert guidelines
