Remote interrogation and reprogramming of cardiac implantable electronic devices using a custom multivendor solution
Authors' conclusion
Remote interrogation and reprogramming of CIEDs are feasible and safe across disparate clinical contexts and distances.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) (pacemakers, ICDs from Abbott, Biotronik, MicroPort) in clinically driven encounters, within hospital, medium range (50–100 km) and long range (>5000 km)115 remote interrogations
- Participants
- 110 patients
- Outcome
- Technical feasibility (% of success) and safety (absence of complication) of remote interrogation and reprogramming when indicated
