NCT00599261
Brief Summary:
To determine the effect of scar tissue removal on the rate of infection and any other complications such as bleeding in patients with an ICD or pacemaker who have the device generator or leads replaced or repositioned.
Detailed Description:
This is a randomized, prospective, single-blind study that evaluates the effect of removal of scar tissue during pacemaker/ICD pocket revision on infection and complications. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either removal of the scar tissue surrounding the implanted device during device replacement or to device replacement without removal of this tissue. Subjects will be followed for one year post-procedure for the occurrence of infection, bleeding/hematoma, or other complications.
