TL;DR: Clinical research is essential for understanding efficacy and risks of TLE and because of increasing rates of infection, lead failure, awareness of indications for lead management, and development of extraction tools.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a consensus document on risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections. But the authors do not provide guidelines on whether to use novel device alternatives expected to be less prone to infections and novel oral anticoagulants.

TL;DR: Comparative studies of the minute ventilation and the activity sensor pacing systems in the same patients confirmed that theminute ventilation system more closely parallels normal sinus response to activity.

TL;DR: These cases illustrate an alternate transvenous route when difficulties occur using standard ventricular pacing sites and could not be achieved via the right ventricle or middle cardiac vein.
