Pol-CDRIE registry - 1-year observational data on patients hospitalized due to cardiac device-related infective endocarditis in Polish referential cardiology centres.

CONCLUSIONS: The clinical profile, pathogen types, and the management strategies in Polish patients with CDRIE are consistent with similar data from other European countries . Transoesophageal echocardiography was performed less frequently than is recommended.. Percutaneous approach was most commonly used for cardiac device removal. The removal rate in Polish patients with CDRIE is consistent with real capabilities of treatment in patients with CDRIE. PMID: 31066721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
