New Treatment of Cardiac Device Infections; Immediate Reimplantation After Removal of Infected System (POET-PPM)

March 20, 2024 updated by: Henning Bundgaard, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

New Treatment of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) Infections; Immediate Reimplantation After Removal of Infected System

The goal of this randomized clinical trials is to ascertain the safety and efficacy of immediate reimplantation of cardiac electronic implantable devices in patients with endocarditis and device-infections, compared to standard care, i.e. reimplantation at a later procedure date.

The primary outcome is the occurence of the composite primary endpoint within 6 months of randomization consisting of

  • Death
  • Symptomatic embolism (systemic arterial embolism or pulmonary embolism)
  • Bacteremia og pocket-infection
  • Removal of a CIED due to new infection

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Immediate reimplantation
Reimplantation in same procedure as removal of device or shortly thereafter.
Patients will be rendomized 1:1 by computer to recieve either standart care or intervention prior to removal of infected system
Active Comparator: Standart care
Reimplantation of device in a second procedure at a later date, after infection has been stabilized/cleared
Patients will be rendomized 1:1 by computer to recieve either standart care or intervention prior to removal of infected system
