To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest cohort evaluating the incidence of PCIS after CIED implantation. The data show that PCIS is a rare complication after CIED implantation and occurs more frequently in patients with DCM and those with RA lead implantation. Although rare and mostly benign, PCIS can lead to potentially lethal complications and physicians must be aware of its symptoms.
