Clinical Trial Summary

Increasing number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have been implanted in the worldwide every year, which is accompanied by the growing number of CIED-related infection, especially in patients with CIED replacement. This multicenter, prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial is to confirm the impact of partial capsule decortication on device-related infection in patients receiving CIED replacement.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate of major CIED-related infection	Infections that resulted in CIED system removal, an invasive CIED procedure (e.g., pocket revision without removal), treatment with long-term antibiotic therapy (if the patient was not a candidate for system removal) with infection recurrence after discontinuation of antibiotic therapy, or death.	Within the first year after the operation
Secondary	Rate of minor CIED-related infection	Infections that do not meet the definition criteria of major CIED infection.	Within the first year after the operation
Secondary	Rate of all CIED-related infection	All infections that related to CIED operation.	Within the first year after the operation
Secondary	Rate of pocket hematoma	Palpable swelling with fluctuance that extended beyond the device margin but without evidence of infection.	Within the first year after the operation
Secondary	Rate of device dysfunction	All the dysfunction of the generators and leads (including abnormal changes of pacing threshold, sensing, impedance, etc.).	Within the first year after the operation
Secondary	All-cause mortality	Death regardless of the causes.	Within the first year after the operation
